Nice job, looking good. Will refer to this when I'm building mine. It's possibly not exactly contemporary, to go with the UK cold war V Bomber force I'm planning, but the Buccaneer is such an iconic shape with its 'area rule' design that it's hard to resist! Problem is I've not done any sort of model for twenty years or so, so I'm practically a complete beginner.

@memkiii Жыл бұрын
Another great build, but you could have made it a LOT dirtier and still been 100% realistic. Not only do the exhaust fairings (the nibs), turn completely soot black, but so does the whole of the lower half of the rear fuselage, and the underside from the rear of the nosegear all the way aft gets a good staining of reddish brown from leaking hydraulic fluid. The top of the wings and spine, tend to get streaky from a combination of blown air from the slots in the leading edge of the wing, fuel leaks, and the vortex generators. Then there is Hydraulic fluid and some grease around the wing join, and a good dollop of black rubber hoofprints from Lineys who having previously half dissolved their boots in Hyd Fluid and leaked fuel, then have to clamber all over the aircraft - and run out to the wing tips to give them a bounce when the wing fold refuses to unstick. Other than than that - perfect. 208 Penetrate! PS I don't remember ever seeing a black intake . They were an off white on Navy AC I think, but RAF ones, at least in the 80s, were a shade of grey much the same as the undercarriage.

I worked on Buccs around the first Gulf War. The intakes were white as you have done in your model. The only thing I can see that is incorrect is that the avionics bay door (underneath the aircraft near the exhausts), was painted in camo as per the rest of the aircraft, not the yellow you have done, unless it was cannibalised from a "desert pink" aircraft. Great kit, waiting for the RAF 1/48 version :-)

note how he avoided one of the most common modeling mistakes: he painted on the weathering and highlighted panel details after placing the decals. As a rule: if dirt, grime, salt, exhaust stains...you name it... gets on the air frame, it gets on the markings, too, and should be shown that way. 50-odd years ago, I worked as a repairman on USAF C-130's. believe me, when these ships came back from missions over S. Vietnam, they were plenty dirty, and nobody went around with a scrub brush cleaning off the stars-and-bars! It is just wrong to have a wonderfully weathered Spitfire, with pristine roundels and Squadron codes. (( a DUH-thud or aaaaaarrrrgggg is appropriate here)) Greg, you mentioned but did not mention assembly problems with the kit. I have been a modeler since the mid-1950's; over the years, I have built both early versions of Airfix (NA. 39 and S.2b), and both Frog and Matchbox S. 2 Buccaneers. All of them had 2 main areas of difficulty: top-bottom or L-R fuselage gaps and misfits, and incorrect intake shapes with awful fits. All builders at the time saw these gaps, etc. as being almost unavoidable, considering the complex shapes of the air frames. Are these faults also the case with NT Airfix?

That's a lot more complex in engineering than I thought it would be, especially with the internal structures, and even more so in that scale. Seats came out great too, very nice. Your ability to vary between the scales is nice to see, I think it shows your all round degree of modelling is well adapted to fluctuate between the smaller models to the larger ones but surely it must be frustrating that the level of detail follows suit and you can get your teeth in to the larger stuff a whole lot more, ie the detail in the stuka far exceeds this 1/72 Bucc. Still a great looking build bud, the paint job, really sweet. Keep them coming. Notification bell on 😉

Such a great video, it takes real skill to tell a story concisely.

Did you use the original undercarriage pieces or aftermarkets?

Fantastic work, Greg! Your videos have really made me rethink a lot of modeling dogma that I've fallen into. I've been going through your vids hoping to find where you may address this, but no luck, so I'll just ask: what do you think your Tamiya paint with to get that nice eggshell finish you seem to be getting. Also, just picked up the 48th bucc and using this vid for inspiration. Thanks for sharing such beautiful and artistic work.

The paint surface is wet sanded with a very well-worn sanding sponge. This is a very precarious process as you can burn through the paint. I did a video on sanding the surface of the paint in preparation for applying decals some time ago. It has a thumbnail of a Meteor wing. But depending on the finish of the subject I'll seal everything in with either a Tamiya satin, very diluted, or a very diluted Winsor & Newton matt varnish. Hope this helps.
