Looks good to mr! Well done.

Only just spotted this thread. Thats a very nice job on the Bucc, she came out well. Looks good with the wings foldd. I have the sma ekit in the stash and wasn't planning on folding the wings, but seeing it, i just might now.

Re: Airfix 1/72 New Tool Buccaneer
Thanks All - very much appreciated!
Bish - It's a great kit, I'm sure you'll do an awesome job on it. Only thing to watch for is the nose section - the fit of the two halves over the cockpit has to be 100%, otherwise you'll end up with a step when you try to fit the nose section to the rest of the fuselage - guess how I know this.... The wing folds look good but I've already noticed they're starting to fall in under their own weight, and that was BEFORE I added the Martels! The nose leg has a floating fit too which is also something to look out for!
