1/48 Blackburn Buccaneer of 800 NAS or No. 15 Squadron RAF Carrier Aircraft GB...

Sierra Hotel India Tango would do nicely old chap! Actually, with a bit of work ... OK, a lot of work, the cockpit doesn't look too bad. But get rid of that control column grip - I think the mould makers misread the drawings, and made it in 1/24th scale !

The ever so slightly out of shape fuselage!

 

[meatloaf109]

Wow!
Never seen one that bad!

 

[rochie]

wow i would like a Buc one day but hope someone else is going to bring one out before i do

 

[ccheese]

Fortunately (for me) I don't have that problem with balsa/tissue. However, being the jarhead (in mind) that you are, you will overcome, you will improvise.....

Those pics look familiar .... oh, of course, I took some virtually identical! Oh, and that's the good bits!
Have to say though, it looks good when eventually finished (apart from the decals), that is if you can spare around 150 to 200 hours build and correction time ....

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Rather you than me Jan!

Even though it is one of my favorite aircraft, I have never seen a positive build review of the kit. I'll just sit back and send Lucky happy thoughts. Good luck sir.

I presume Jan hasn't done any more on the old 'Buc', as I haven't heard any Swettish curses drifting across Hadrian's Wall - yet!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Poor chaps probably sitting on the floor in the corner in the foetal position, whimpering!!.......................or something similar………..

 

[Lucky13]

Been busy with the more builder friendly Corsair, really want to get a better cockpit for this one, but....have a couple of pre-arranged deals to take care of first...oh, also want better decals!

 

[Lucky13]

Well,

After some serious concideration, splashing of some holy water, reading a few pieces out of the bible and a exorcism, I've decided to kickstart this things, using the kit cockpit...

Here goes...

 

[Airframes]

Repeat after me "Our Father, who art in ....."
Cockpit's no problem old boy, as is most of the kit - it's just that ****ing fuselage joint which provides the comedy show!

 

[Lucky13]

With its twisted apperance you mean!

 

[Rogi]

Lucky13, I didn't even know a friends list existed till you added me, thanks mate (now everyone else watch out because I'll be adding all of you in like 5mins :O)

 

[Lucky13]

That's it! I'm getting this!

 

[Wayne Little]

that looks worth it Jan!

 

[meatloaf109]

I'm confused, is that a resin set that you want to get, or have now, or (least likely) are those the kit parts?

 

[Lucky13]

That's what I want for the Buccaneer, as the kit decals are Hippocroccofroglike, to put as nicely as I can!
Sent Terry a text about it!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Jan, I think your going to need some Rogain man. From what I remember of Terry's build, this thing's a brute.
