As a trivia: they actually used Tamiya acrylics to paint the nose art for the buccs in DS1. There’s a picture of what I think may be the crew chief painting the art.

I was with the Buccaneers (208 Sqn) out in Muharraq, as a young 19 year old, and watched the technician paint this very aircraft. Lossiemouth was my first posting and the Buccaneer was and still is my favourite. Excellent work evoking some great memories

@@andypetrie5270 That is absolutely incredible!!! Thank you so much for the comment, has made my evening! Glad you liked it, and thank you for your service :)

The transparent wing tips is a great idea..in the past aircraft models were usually provided with a port and starboard transparent navigation light which were incredibly small and fiddly to fix on especially in 1:72nd scale. Making the entire wing tip as a transparency enables the non painted part (the actual navigation light) to be correctly fitted and then simply mask off the transparent light when painting the wing.

Very sweet build! I just finished the first two airfix kits of this aircraft and now im just finishing the 1/48 version. After this video im going to have to go back and do some retouch . I forgot the exhaust stains! One great thing about RAF gulf war aircraft, no stencils and loads of weathering.

@@machmodels Interesting, challenging too, spent quite a few hours upside down in the cockpit bleeding the brake system. But these really flew low across the sea and the rear tail hatch, where the LOX pot was stowed usually had sea water in it after a sortie against shipping. We had an amazing squadron on 237 OCU and they were brilliant on use of the pavespike for designated bomb targets. I wanted to go with the Sky pirates to the gulf but was on Nimrod majors, but have film of your jet coming home, Lossiemouth was packed. Great job by the way, brought back some good memories. All the best in the New Year to you.

Looks great. We'll done.
