GB-61 1/48 Buccaneer S.2 - Carrier and Maritime Aircraft

[F-104nut]

User Name: F-104Nut
Name: Brian
Category: intermediate
Kit: Airfix
Scale:1/48


Accessories: Xtra decals . Quinta Sutdio Eat seat , dead desihn mask .Starting on my 2nd Airfix Buccaneer . Really enjoyed the first build. ir-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 . 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 . One of the nose struts the axel pin was short shot so I drilled a hole through both sides of the struts and will use a piece of wire for axel . Center intake wheel well subassemblies ready for painting . Test fit the fuselage together what a beast of an airframe .

Good entry. Somewhat of a head start but I see from your other thread that there were no objections.

Wow ! Nice choice. Way more detail than the old kit !

 

[F-104nut]

Got the kit coclpit decals applies tonight . Then i used a new wash that works pretty good. 1 part future floor wax , 1 part water and a drop of tamiya flat black . Slop it on with a brush . Once dry i spray some clear flat and detail the cockkpit .

As commented on your other thread.

Just a point of interest Brian, you only need to post on this thread which you have started for the GB. The other thread can be left as it is for you will find that it is the same handful of people watching both. No need to duplicate but in order to compete in the GB, you must keep this one going.
