Buccaneer ADV

[Hobbes]

What do you get when you cross an Airfix Buccaneer with the Freightdog Canberra P.12 conversion set?

[Martin H]

Harro. You have just made Thorvic go weak at the knees.

I like this idea

[Hobbes]

The P12 nose actually fits nicely. It has the same height as the Bucc (at the point where the kit nose attaches). It's a bit wider (the P12 nose is circular, the Bucc is oval), but that's easy enough to fair in.

Harro's entering whifgasm territory again and I LIKE where it's taking us....So will the Bucc be hauling the mighty Red  Dean's on it body somewhere?

[rickshaw]

I suspect it will look similar to this one (At the BAE Pegasus Airbase thread):

[McColm]

Great idea, I've been toying with the idea of adding a Sea Harrier's nose to my Airfix Bucc.

[Mossie]

Would it be worth chopping the cone were the panel line is, as there's enough room for the radar mounting in the Buccs nose already?  Another thing, might be worth pointing the nose as the Sea Vixen & Javelin both had this change when in service, there are versions of the P.12 drawn up with this as well.

Hmmm, ESDG over white over Stanley, or air defence greys?  Canada were interested in an interceptor variant too....

Would it be worth chopping the cone were the panel line is,

Possibly, but I think I'm going to leave that section in; I'm not trying to be subtle here. I'll think about making the nose pointier.

The Javelin nose fits a Canberra very well ----



You could shape the nose a bit like it Harro.

[McColm]

Wow!!
What kind of engine intakes did you use?

Like what you did there Kitnut, but it does remind me of the old `Beagle`.....................?

Captain Slow here, finally with some progress on this build. Thanks to a tip from Geoff, I used Xtracolor EDSG to produce this:

[Army of One]

Liking it......what will it be armed with...?? Will it carry a gun....?
