Hot off the bench, here's my third 1/48 Buccaneer, which I have just finished. It depicts a tanker aircraft of 800 NAS in 1970 when embarked in HMS Eagle. Just for a change I wanted to show the flaps, aileron droop and tail trim deployed, which is why the crew are there: this was only ever seen with the aircraft powered up. I suppose it really needs a deck marshaller to add a final touch: maybe one day. It is the Airfix new-tool kit. I did it mostly from the box, but did use a Master FR probe and pitot, Eduard canopy masks, and (particularly poignant in view of the recent news) the buddy refuelling pod by Flightpath. Markings were mostly from home-made masks, including the Flight Refuelling logo in the fin; stencils etc (those I bothered with) were from the kit, as were the fuselage roundels after a mask/paint disaster. The small serials were from an Xtradecal generic sheet, and the 800 NAS badges from the old-tool Airfix kit, kindly supplied by a friend. Comments and feedback welcome.
