View File XT278-809NAS.studio3 The Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer was always considered a difficult build, but all that changed with the later new tooling, which has been released in both RAF and RN versions. I've always liked the "Banana Jet", and found that suddenly I have one built, one on the bench and one in the queue. If I had one complaint about the S2C/D (the FAA boxing) it is that it has four schemes, all in overall Extra Dark Sea Grey. I'm awkward, so found myself a picture of an early scheme on an aircraft of 809 Naval Air Squadron embarked in HMS Hermes in 1966. Regrettably I can't post it here due to copyright, but can show a pic of the finished model which should give you most of the info you need. The extra "8" for the underwing serials is to make doing the folded wing option easier: if making the model in this configuration, the folding bits can be painted separately and added as the last thing in the build. You will need to source 809 NAS badges for the intake sides - there is a pair on the kit decal sheet - and the small serials, which I was unable to cut in 1/48 scale; I used a Xtradecal sheet of generic lettering. You will also need to remove the fairings between the fuselage and intakes - see second photo - as early S2s did not have these - and make other mods relevant to an early machine. Otherwise follow kit option B Comments welcome. Submitter MikeC Submitted 08/24/2024 Category Aircraft - Military
