SWEET!!! I swear I haven't seen this jet before and it shows how much I don't know about those. I have not built a kit by Airflix but I do have one in my stash...

Beautiful work! The Buccaneer looks absolutely wicked in overall Extra Dark Sea Grey! You nailed it here!

Marvelous Buccaneer. Yes, Airfix as certainly stepped up their game over the past few years. I have a few of their newer kits including the 1/72 Buccaneer. I've started on their 1/72 A-4 Skyhawk and it's nice kit. And, yes, the Buccaneer is a sexy beast.

Now you're speaking my language. Good looking Brick you've built. Airfix have come a long way in terms of quality. Their new kits are fabulous

That's a great looking Bucc! I think it looks like a big, curvy girl that totally owns the look! The new Airfix kit really shows they are going in the right direction in terms of quality and subject matter. I really look forward to the RAF boxing. Gonna make mine with wraparound camouflage and load it with "dumb" bombs.
And to think a Gannet is coming out is mind-blowing! I think the only Royal Navy aircraft that can beat the Gannet in a weirdness contest is a folded-up Barracuda. I hope they do the Barracuda as well, as it is obviously in their wheelhouse.

TJ - only other kit I remember being out there was the Trump 1/72 if not mistaken.
Mike - thank you.
Real G - I agree 100%. Im sure the have others coming as far a markings. Plus there should be more aftermarket stuff available. I want to do a desert version. Now a cudda would be awesome.
