Beautifully done Matchbox kit :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Looking forward to seeing the 1/48th version :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: :wub: :thumbsup: :mellow: :thumbsup:
A little progress. Had to take the decals off the nose as they just wouldn't settle down properly. Waiting on replacements to arrive. Also on its wheels now. Going to be armed with 2 x Martel radar missiles and 4 x 1000lb bombs in the bomb bay.

That looks really good :thumbsup:
Looks SO plausible, specially with those Komorans under the wings. They are Kormorans, aren't they?
Sweet. :thumbsup: Even though I am not certain about the silver underside. Inspired by Marineflieger F-104Gs, I assume? It would rather be "Silbergrau" RAL 7001, though, a cold grey tone similar to FS 36375, or RAL 7035 (Lichtgrau, an almost white grey that was used under the Seahawks and Tornados) and most probably not metallic. But that's a rather nitpicky comment... :rolleyes:
However, it's a plausible build, IIRC the Bucc was on the Marineflieger's wish list, but they had to accept the Starfighter...
:thumbsup:
A well presented " should have been"

They should be. However, they are Martels from the kit. but don't tell anyone :-X

Indeed inspired by the Starfighter.
Looks sharp! :thumbsup:
That is Whiffy worthy! :bow: :bow:
However, Chris beat me to the punch on nominating it! :thumbsup:
Like it.
Plenty of detail scope in 1/48. I too did one based on the venerable Frog offering some years back. This looks very schmick.

Looks magnificent, and it SHOULD have happened! :thumbsup:
Thanks everyone for the kind words :thumbsup:
Very nice , got to love a wiffed Buccaneer.

Possibly (in part) Eric Winkle Brown's influence on the Marineflieger, he had a lot of friends there.
:thumbsup:
Great looking build. Always liked that scheme. I want to do a MarineFlieger What-If at some point just need to figure out what plane/backstory.
That looks great - nice one! :thumbsup:
I've got something similar on my to do list, but in 1/72nd scale where you can get actual Kormorans.

The missiles on the model are actually Martels from the kit :thumbsup:
