1/48 New Tooled Airfix Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C

February 3, 2023 · in Aviation · · 15 · 0.8K

Just finished the Buccaneer last night . Started on this beginning of last November . Really great kit and fit . Built out of the box for the first build . For paints i used Mr color , Ak real colors and Tamiya LP . Only areas i did light wash was the cockpit and whheel wells . One thing i really liked about the kit was the FOD colors and crew ladders . I plan on another Navy one and RAF one when it comes out .

    The addition of the ladder and the exhaust covers do give this build an extra dimension.
    Good decision to build it with the airbrakes open.
    Well done.
