fantastic... great plane and great build so far... that base makes it look pretty cool

Its a shame that there isn't a newer tooling available of the Bucc as its a gorgeous plane and I want to build one at some point.

How is she progressing Waylander?

Looking good so far. Look forward to seeing it progress as the Buccaneer is my favourite aircraft along with the Sea Vixen.

I've recently done one of these. Did you find that the canopy was too long for the cockpit? Mine was a good 6mm longer! I did it opened up so it didn't really matter. Lol

Hi all, well she's coming along ok. Had to repaint the nose as got a bit over zealous with the polishing sponge but I have started the decals today as have been at work on nights the last five days. Hopefully might get to up load some pics tomorrow.
Yes had some issues with the canopy and the wings and the tail and the nose and the cockpit. Something in the air told me this was one of Airfix's older toolings as nothing seemed to want to fit. The stand is just one of the Airfix ones you get in the packs, I've sprayed it silver now. Many thanks for all the great comments its great to be able to talk to like minded people.

Well she is now finished, hope you all like her. Went a bit bonkers on the weathering and had to get creative with the underside decals as silly me followed the instructions and put all the pylons for the rocket pods and the slip tanks on when they said to and then when it came to putting on the decals realized oh that's where the decals are supposed to go but never mind I like her. Not the best kit in the world but certainly not the worst.......http://intscalemodeller.com/posting.php ... =35&p=3783#
