This is the old Airfix Buccaneer and at the moment it's the only choice if you want one in this scale. The fuselage is split horizontally and the halves in my kit were a bit warped. So I had to glue the halves together a section at a time.Despite this, I really enjoyed building the kit. I painted it with Humbrol enamels and used Alclad gloss and Matt clear coats.Some details painted with Vallejo and Tamiya paints. And I've finished it as an aircraft of no.12 Sqdn based at RAF Lossiemouth in 1988. I'm not happy with the silver leading edges. When/ if I build another I will use strips of silver decal or fill the engraved detail at the edges.Decals are Airfix originals.Except for the roundels.These are from an Xtradecal sheet as the kit ones reacted badly to Microsol. It's a pity Airfix haven't re-released this kit. It's not up to modern standards,but it's not bad. If I can find another, I want to build a Gulf War Buccaneer. Got the decals already!.
