SimonCornes Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 No plans in the box. Basic manufacturers drawings in Combat Machines vol 5 (Key Publishing) and the MDF Scaled Down is also good but, again no plans Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 All this talk of RAF and what if schemes . What about a nice dark grey/PRU blue SAAF Buc from the late 80's armed with 8 x 460kg bombs in the Angola Bush War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the Buccaneer I'm currently hesitating between one wraparound camo bird with the four big antiship sea eagle missiles or one with white painted over the green and cbls load... Not an easy choice! Little magnets..... problem solved! Phartycr0c and thierry laurent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Those were Mk81s on wing mounted TERs. The Most common bush were fit was the 8 x config. Used with great effect. Just love this aIrcraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the warload indeed but for the camo this is unfortunately not so easy. I think I will finally go the route of the four brute missiles ! wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thierry, I'm seriously thinking about the same load out as you, with 4 Sea Eagles , I built a Tornado GR-1b A few years back using the Flightpath missiles, and they are serous project in their own right , beautifully detailed , but well worth it , ColinR Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plans in the two Aeroguides, the War paint and the Ian Allan books. The ones that look the most useful (but not necessarily accurate) are the plans from the War paint or the Aeroguide number 30. For walkaround pics, the best source is the Fox Two books. blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite time-consuming alas! The point I still have to assess is the pylons as it does not like the kit have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonCornes Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 As an aside the December issue of SAM might be of interest to some of us as it includes a build of the new Airfix kit with some useful photos and also the Colour Conundrum article about Squirrel Grey Bucks. You can make of that what you will but there is a lot about the correct colours for naval Bucks. Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The lack of outer pylons is a nuisance Thierry,, but an initial perusal of the various pics suggests that they're pretty simple , (I hope!) , but I might be investing in an Airfix 72nd kit for some inspiration, Oh and a quick heads up , UK mag Scale Aircraft Modeing this month has a decent article looking at RN Buccaneer colours inc. Squirrel Grey - definitely worth getting if an RN Buc is you choice ColinR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chek Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Woohoo - I wasn't too late to the party in ordering one! So sometime in the New Year it is then. Now, if any enterprising 3-D modeller/resin caster would care to do the hinge mechanisms that show under the removed upper wing panels that were fashionable in the 80's, that'd be great. Yes, I scratched them - along with a scale mobile all moving tailplane - in 1/72 scale a couple of decades ago, but recreating multiple mirrored parts is what modern technology is for, innit?
