Airfix 1/72 Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S.2D

[Alan 45]

Finally finished the Buc

This is an awful kit if you don't like filling and filing then don't get this kit lol

Raised panel lines for detail , pieces that don't exist , and an ill fitting kit make it the worst on the market ! Having said that I enjoyed making it and although many on here would have done a better job I'm pleased tith it View attachment 76204

I call this a well done airplane model. My advice: let everyone to enjoy you work like is now, and the smash all the heads with a propper base. And , maibe a ground crew. I like to see life arround our STATTIC models. Well, well done.

I would love to make a dio of this but this is part of a project, I'm building a collection of British cold war jets next up is the new kitty hawk 1/48 septcat jaguar

How can I see all of them?

 

[Alan 45]

How can I see all of them?

Well that's the first one I've built so far lol, at the moment I have the EE Lightning, the jaguar I've just mentioned, a De Havilland vampire and a Bae nimrod

But I have made some dios so if you want to have a look at them and many of the other members builds just look in the completed diorama section, there are some fantastic builders on here

That brings back memories, I think it's one of the first kits I remember my Dad building, he even finished it in similar FAA colors. Looks great Alan, very clean paintwork.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Mike I appreciate. It, I built this kit as a kid but I don't remember it being as bad as this one was lol

 

[flyjoe180]

Wow Alan, you conquered this one well, nicely finished. It does look very smart in that scheme.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Joe it was an experience but I need more to get better

 

[Gern]

It certainly doesn't look like you had problems. That's turned out very nice.

[Dave W]

Nice build Alan.Ive never built this kit.I did the Frog one in my youth which was probably a similar 'quality' kit.

 

[papa 695]

Great work Alan as the rest have said no sign of any fit problems

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Dave I'm glad you like it, there are a few problems I couldn't solve but thankfully the're small and only noticeable up close

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys glad you like it, in places the plastic is so thin from rubbing down you can poke a hole in it

 

[colin m]

Nice one Alan. She looks great. I built a Gulf war version of this one, a 'classic' Airfix kit indeed, nothing like their latest offerings.

 

[InFlames]

Great work, mate! I think it's time for a new tool kit - airfix perhaps?

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers mate , I would love airfix to do one , she's a beaut of an aircraft
