gareth Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) I now realise how stupid the choice of subject for the group build is as I know of only these two photo's of If anyone has more photos id be glad to see them This aircraft Ended its Life in the Mediterenean sea after an engine failure, both crew members survived but a sad end for a glorious aircraft Anyway onto the build I have began to detait the cockpit and wingfold and thus so far have finished the pilots intsruments and cokpit sides and have began on the navigators compartment. I have also finished one of the wingfolds. I will upload photo's of this work once I get back from my holidays Cheers Gareth Edited September 2, 2010 by gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Right then Next sub update: First of the slipper tanks build and filled The sink mark in the port wing has also been filled I have also done some not too accurate detailing in the wheel wells and the fuselage has also been colsed up and posed next to my my other current airfix kit the tornado which is now just awaiting final painting and decals Cheers Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadeocu Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Nice start Gareth! You seem (seam ) to have the fuselage together already - great progress my friend! I beg to differ with your opening thought though - I think this was a great choice and look forward to the painting stage! - Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Right Quite a bit has been done but i thought better than boring you with multiple posts saying i glued ithsi ther so, all of the building has been finished and the sanding has been completed (I think) Right then two pictures showing both sides of the airframe Cheers Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollieholmes Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thats almost how my Buccaneer looks at the moment. Its nice to see your making good process and i agree with your sentiment on posting every time you stick a few new bits on. Maybe thats why i dont do many WIP threads here.

redfoxy Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Gareth, I came across this on a Google search, Don't know if you have seen it before, I haven't. It was on Hannant's site with a decal sheet no ML48177 by Model Alliance. Obviously not my picture so if its a problem I will remove it. Regards Paul.
