Airfix 1/72 Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C

[Jim R]

Buccaneer XV336, no 800 Naval Air Squadron, stationed on HMS Eagle during the summer of 1971.
A build with a personal connection. Mr Dad was a designer at Blackburn Aircraft in Brough and worked on the Buccaneer.



















A big thanks to everyone who supported the build. It means a huge amount to be part of a forum with such a great bunch of guys.

Superb build Jim , sorry I missed a lot of the build thread but this is just beautiful. The additions to the nose look fabulous and the base sets it off completely . A great tribute to your dad and a show winning model for the cabinet . Cheers Tony

Not my area of knowledge but this looks so real and superbly rendered. You should be mega proud of your build.
