Finally got my hand on the new tooled Buccaneer . All i have to have this kit is flppin awesome and full of detail. Cockpit is pretty much ready for basic interior color to be sprayed . Holes drilled out for the crew ladders .My weapons choice will be Rocket pods and bombs. Going for the markings of the No. 809 Naval Air Squadron.

Beautiful kit, Brian @f-104nut
Looking forward to see this one build. The details on the interior look very promissing.

Great job so far, my friend @f-104nut! Pity about the short shot scoop, great remedy, though!

Been pretty busy the last week with the Bucc project . Cockpit was completed using the kit cockpit decals . Assembling of the airframe is pretty good. Cockkpit deails dry brushed with model master neutral gray . really poped out the buttons knobs and various details . Onluy issue i had was the outer intake parts and intake lip ring fit (maybe my fault ? ) but got is cleanded up with the tamiya sanding sponges and a little Mr surfacer 1500 primder brushed on 🙂

A beautiful interior, Brian @f-104nut
Now that everything is set together, the beautiful shape of the Buccaneer is shown.

Your Buccaneer is really starting to take shape, Brian (@f-104nut). Looking forward to your paint and decals.

Finally some more updates on the Bucc. Got the landing geard and wheels assembled and test fitted on the Bucc to make sure nose weight was correct and the amout i added with a nut worked out . I went with the slip wing fuel tanks as they really look cool as well as rocket pods. Next i got tht crew ladders assembled and something seemed to be missing. Did some research and found the the ladders in the kit was missinga tow braces that goes in between the left and right side of the ladder mount. So now the ladders are complete. Few more things to get glued then i can start painting a bunch of subassembles 🙂
