Here's hoping. +1, especially with wing parts offering a fold, even with just basic detail in the joints that needs superdetailing. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I would be interested to see the cockpit built, you know the Buccaneer seats are offset so the rear seater has a view forward.

nmayhew Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 wow there's some curves on that bird! (don't think I've said that in quite a few years lol) I watched the full 30mins or so Bucc training video someone posted a while back - made me immensely proud and then very sad that successive Governments betrayed our Armed Forces and let it all go to sh*t I hope the kit is a success and look forward to seeing them built CharmyDown, Out2gtcha, Stevepd and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Regarding the Palouste pod, the Fox Two book page 10 has a 1973 picture of a RAF Buck from squadron XV in RAF Hatfield and you can distinguish such a pod on a trailer behind the plane.

TonyT Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The normal Palouse was the Oblong four wheel trolley, used them on the VC10, someone decided it would be a good idea to use it on a gentle breeze setting to defrost a frozen toilet waste gate as the coupling was the same, it erm worked, it blew the contents of the toilet system and tank up through the bog coating the aft cabin of the said VC 10 with sh't? We had the rear cabin stripped out of all the trim and aIr freshener in it with the doors open for over a week and it still smelt of you know what.

Scotsman Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Well work is progressing with my one , the cockpit side walls have been fitted and new cockpit sills have been added , and with everything closed up it looks pretty good, but the real reason for posting is that I bought a new airfix 1/72 Buc for inspiration, and on opening the box all I could think is "Its so dammed SMALL" - seriously its Tiny , there is NO WAY I could go back to this scale , I hardly can see the pieces , let alone assemble them ! As for the 32nd scale beast , still swithering about chopping out the bombay doors to fit the bulged RAF Door, it seems to be the logical approach , BUT it's a lot of resin to remove - and there are no second chances! EEK Pics such as they are to follow , just as soon as the workbench has been cleaned up including the 6" of resin dust coating it at present , but I have cleaned up the wings and U/C bays and the all now fit , and it so looks like a Buc...!

ColinR (Call my Dusty !) Our Son’s girlfriend bought me a 1/72 Spitfire for my 50th this year (She’s German with a good sense of humour). I built it in 2 weeks but as you it’s tiny and 100% not my choice of scale. Dust - can you write your name on the bench yet?
