Robertjon5 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Thanks Viper. As a sideline i buy and re-sell models that come up on various auction sites to guys on the forums and ebay. And this was in 1 of them. But couldn't find much info on it and how much they sell for. I know a lot of 1/32 kits are around £100 upwards. I collect mostly die cast british phantoms + v bombers. But do have several kits of ones i can't get in die cast at the moment. From ebay or i get Alistair Paice here to build them for me. At 65 eyes and steady hands are not as they were! Thanks again.

Any help would be appreciated for any further info and selling price. Thanks guys. Rj. Indeed, this is a very rare kit. However, it is not easy to build. Most ended in collections and very few were actually built. So this is a mixed bag. I would only recommend it for savvy modellers. I looked after one for many years and finally stopped as finding the holy grail looked to be easier! Robertjon5 and Scotsman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcour Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I did not know the brand and thought it was a new 1/32 Buccaneer! One day, hopefully!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I bought one off eBay a few years ago, think it was about £120 buy it now, the seller wasn't sure it was all there, had a good look at the photos and it was, no weapons, but they were going for £300 at the time.

dutik Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Looks buildable if you add a set of wingspars and maybe one or two more bulkheads inside fuselage. A rigid UC might be required given the overall weight of the resin parts. We have here some build up 3D printed AC that required much more work than this beauty. Not to mention the finished HPH models... Don't be shy, the world needs some more finished Buccaneers Regards - dutik Edited March 17, 2023 by dutik Paul in Napier, Rick Griewski, blackbetty and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
