Revell rebox matchbox 1/72 Blackburn Buccaneer S2B

[Alan 45]

this is the I presume new release by revell of the old matchbox kit , it goes together better than the airfix release by a country mile but still isn't great so that just says more about how bad the airfix one is

You can build this into a very good build with a margin of work myself I was losing my mojo at the time so it's a bit rough around the edges

I chose the RAF version of this because I've already built the FAA version , the decals I scrounged around for as there were no decals in this kit but strangely enough I do think these decals are for a bucc although I will admit they are for another FAA version but I did find a pick of an RAF bucc with the same roundels so ive got away with it

Cheers pete , it's a really easy kit with a few problems which with work can be sorted so I think you'll do a better job than I did

I really like that Alan, the camo is great & it seems to have a slight satin sheen that looks just right.

I thought it was 1/48, so it's definitely worth a gong

That's a lovely job of the old Matchbox kit Alan, nice work on the camo.

Cheers chaps I'm glad you like it

I've seen an old airfix 1/48 on eBay and I'm thinking of having it I know it will be a nightmare of a build but it's such a nice looking aircraft

Great job Alan, I wish someone would do a new kit of this one in 1/72 and 1/48, not sure why it keeps getting overlooked.

your not wrong there paul , I think we bossed the military jet era from the end of the war right up until the 80's and we had the best designed looking aircraft as well
