This is a model of a scene where
the last Buccaneer was shot from the waist catapult of HMS Ark Royal in 1978.
The Buccaneer is one of my favourite planes and is a shape you can only really
enjoy as a model due to the subtle contours of the Area ruled fuselage.

The kit was built
out of the box with decals from 3 Guys. Crew were from Hasegawa's deck crew set
as were the deck crew figures. The base is a sheet of acrylic with the hole for
the JBD cut out and detail scratch built with scrap.
There has been a lot of criticism
of this kit but I loved it and have another 3 in the stash for my old age.
