Welsh Models Buccaneer

Post by AndrewN »

I've had this for a long while but last year I decidedto really do a job on it. At Telford in 2019, when I met up with you guys, I got a set of decals from 144th.com and that completed the job.

Made the Welsh Models Buccaneer a long time ago. Do like vac-forms more than resin but have you seen the 1/144.com Buccaneer?

It's really good but would have liked a vac-form canopy

Your vac-forms are fantastic, I always think that Vac-form building is the most difficult method. I have a vac Buccaneer, I've had it for years but never got up the courage to tackle it.

Come on Terry! A month of lockdown get your penknife and bass wood and whittle one up.

I also have a Vacc form Buccaneer kindly donated by DH106. I would like to add it to my Blackburn collection but I keep having a go then putting it back in the box. Keep thinking like TerryP that is would be easier to start with a lump of wood.

The 144 Co resin job is excellent - I have one in 'to do' The decals alone are worth every penny - I will concede that the only vac forms I've tackled have not gone well so it will get built ....honest......

in the queue...it will be dealt with as soon as our operator is free"............................
