LSP_Matt Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It looks like one of those fantasy model builds. I'll use a spare prop from the spares bin and glue that up front. Two props are always better than one. Glue on my Corsair wings Whack on my 262 tail but really crank up the horizontal tail so its Luft46 like. Finally a dustbin style car exhaust.

Hubert Boillot Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 For a Blackburn product, it is actually quite elegant ... This is probably when Blackburn started to bastardize their brick-like design standards ...So they ended up with the Buccaneer, which is probably the best-looking Blackburn ever produced Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparzanza Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Oy! http://aircraft-catalog.com/en/Blackburn/B-54(B-88)/ Looks like the offspring of a seagull having an affair with a Firefly! Get it ...hehe.. ehe.. ehh. I'll see your lackburn B-54 and raise you a Short Seamew. Haha! Whoever designed that must've been high on ketchup, or swallowed 50 lego bricks.
