1:48 Blackburn Buccaneer

[Cherrylock]

Here is a big one, the Airfix Buccaneer, a bomber from the RAF and the Royal Navy. The Buccaneer was a long time in service. The Kit looks good if you finish it, but it is a trouble maker on the bench, most parts have big fit issues, so you grind, filler and grid most of the time, but in the end it is impresive bird on your gallery

here is the first one, finished minutes before

Sweet! I have the two different Airfix boxings, RAF, & FAA. Thanks for posting this one and the heads up about fit issues.

[CallSignOWL]

the buccaneer has some fans here, the next is the SAAF but this is not the next project to finnish.

[Cherrylock]

next one is finnished

Blackburn Buccaner S50; SAAF; No.24 Squadron, Waterkloof;







The S.50 based on the S.2 Navy variant, with different antenna configuration and bigger wing tanks. Build OOB with Pawla seats.

I will build a Royal Navy S.2 some times, folded and with Eduard inside and outside..some days..

[Stikpusher]

The Buccaneer reminds me a LOT of the A-6 Intruder. Very similar designs and roles in their service lives. Grumman just went for a more blunt look and side by side seating.

Thanks for sharing these here CL.

I guess I must have said this before, but: I am again and again excited about your skills, your speed and quality of output, and your dedication to do a whole family of exotic schemes of your builds! These here are even more fine examples of your talent! Hope to see them (and you) in Fürstenfeldbruck this spring!

[Cherrylock]

little meeting in Fürstenfeldbruck, yes I am there, and in Stetten if you will come to the model show.

thanks to all, wel soon post more .
