Airfix 1/48 Blackburn Buccaneer S.2CD

[M1Carbine]

I dont know why but I found the buccaneer to be kinds sexy. I was not a big fan of Airfix kits but I said I have to build this. If Airfix continues to produce this type of quality there is no doubt I will build some more. I am chomping at the bit for the 1/48 Fair Ganet.

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...

[M1Carbine]

Andy, the new Airfix stuff is great quality and engineering.

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

[M1Carbine]

Thanks Carlos, dont know why but I just think its a sexy beast.

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.

I have never had an Airfix kit on my bench. This gorgeous build is making me wonder why I haven't. Lovely build sir!

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

TJ, I'm chomping at the bit for the 1/48 Fairy Gannet. should be soon....I hope!

I just picked up the Sword 1/72 Gannet

[Medicman71]

Very nice! It looks great!

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.
