Hi guys,
Question is, does the Airfix 1:48th Buccaneer kit have decals for the South African Air Force Buccs, if not is there after market decals available.
Cheers
Pete
I am pretty sure that the Royal Navy Brick has SAAF decals included .
The RAF does not,I think the MK50 was the same as the RN aircraft
Never mind the decals, just make sure that you have lot’s of filler to hand. This is a pig of a kit to build decently; innacurate joints all over, soft plastic, poor cockpit detail etc etc etc. I’ve built two, to order, I wouldn’t choose to build one for pleasure!
Mine went together with no problems with fit.
I heard that the production run of the RN/SAAF aircraft had problems .
I built 2 of the RAF boxed aircraft and both were ol.
One of the lightning fuselages was slightly warped but the bricks went together
without hardly any filler
I use Dichloromethane or MEK as cement , which really helps in avoiding
excess filling.
It means that I hardly ever have to reach for the milliput !
