Time to start Buccaneer #2 . Air-scoop also on the kit was a Little short shot so I used a UMM saw to cut the bad section out . Drilled various size holes in the plastic rod and glued on then blended with various Tamiya sanding sponges . Problem fixed Not sure of markings yet ! Thinking og one of the top two schemes .

Finally decided on the scheme going for the XW529 camo . Going to build this one with the bomb bay opened with 4 x 1000lb bombs . Hole drilled out for the crew ladders . I will also use the slipper fuel tanks . Cockpit parts now ready for paint. Since i mask the cockpit off while paint i find it easier to glue the rear instrument panel to the left side of the cockpit wall instead of gluing it to the seat like instructions call for . I have the quinta studio 3D ejection seat set coming for thre kit seats .

Finally got some progress on the Buccaneer . I didnt have a Admiralty grey so i used Tamiya LP-15IJN grey for the cockpit . Sprayed mr color clear gloss for the kit cockpit decals . Rest of the tail parts been glued on as well .
