I followed your build Jim. I know nothing about Buccaneers, but the plane looks wonderfully built. And your scratch build cone fits in beautifully with the overall picture.

A first class model of an iconic aircraft, Jim.

Thank you all for the great comments. They mean a lot. Also a big thanks to the committee for the Dog's Award. It will take pride of place with my Blue Peter badge and my Under 10, 1 width doggy paddle swimming certificate.
Chris - The FOD covers are resin aftermarket, the explosive strip on the canopy was in the 3D decals and the canopy did slide back not hinge up.

Nice one Jim, the scene is very good and the finish, detail etch is excellent.

A beautiful build Jim. The lines of the Buccaneer are beautifully ugly. I just love it. The upturned nose has always given me the impression that it was an accident and no one corrected it. Had it been turned down it would probably send the plane crashing down at the crazy low level flights it made.

Cheers,
Wabble
