    I got my hands on the kit a few days ago. I’m actually blown away by the level of detail, the panel lines & rivets etc are exceptional. I’ve waited a long time for a 1/48 Bucc and you guys & girls have certainly delivered, thank you very much!
    1/48 Fairey Gannet next please Paramjit 😉

    What a really nice, down-to-earth bloke Paramjit seems! You can really 'feel' his excitement for his project though when he's sat next to real thing!
    This looks a superb kit; I love the care and detail that he puts into his kits; his Mosquito is a great example of his careful approach, and I'm sure when I get hold of this new Buccaneer that I'll love it! 😊
    Thank you Airfix for all these behind-the-scenes videos, previews, and 'Sprue Talk' shows; it's amazing to see all this open sharing of information which we never see from any other manufacturer (to my knowledge!). Thanks 😊

    Great to have Paramjit working for Airfix, someone who not just does design the kits but also builds them as well, which is always an added bonus to know what the modeller wants from a kit

    Great job Paramjit, please don't forget that there are Buccaneer groups on Facebook with expert knowledge, who flew and maintained the aircraft in the RAF and Navy, who would have been proud to have been consulted, the RAF S2B model must be next, with UK and Germany Sqn decals please! one note we rarely opened the top or side engine panels but always the lower panels, 2 or 3 times a day. And what about the nose fold, I remember Airfix 72 scale having this feature in the early 70s, this is how we squeezed them into the hangars.

    Nice one!...I fell in love with the Buccaneer when HMS Eagle visited NZ in the early 70's and had been interested ever since... I recently got an Airfix Buccaneer 1/72.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿✈️

  • @raytheron

    Fantastic job, Paramjit! I'm beyond stoked that Airfix is so much better now. I grew up with Airfix kits, from the 32nd scale Sunbeam Rapier I built as 9-year-old in 1960, so Airfix has always been my preferred manufacturer.

    Just received mine and the 1/35 Austin ambulance today....had a wee quick look and 😳😲😎😍🥰!
    The only minor criticism that I have, is that the Austin doesn't have a complete engine, I was a wee bit disappointed with that....other than that 🥇🏆!
    Two phenomenal kits, outstanding work, can't wait for what will be next in 1/48 and 1/35 (plus 1/72, don't build much in that scale though)!

    Top job Paramjit…👏👏👏👏. You done a great job. I think the extra pressure came from you knowing that Phil Flory and many of us on Flory models have been Ripping you about doing a Buck ….. so many congratulations on a great job. You just need to do a Jaguar, Gannet and Wessex next….🙏

      @patrickcamp8076 2 роки тому +1

      If the engraving is on the inside as on the Airfix 1/72 Hawk you can get a great result by painting it and then polishing away any excess. I've built around 10 Hawks and this method has always delivered for me and is fun to do.

  • @nickbrough8335
    @nickbrough8335 2 роки тому

    From the early box reviews I've seen, this is a really excellent kit. I think the build could have been made a bit more complex (by adding parts rather than some molded on detail), but this is easily as good a design as any outside and better than many others. The quality of the plastic also looks excellent, although we'll have to wait for build reviews to be sure.
    I havent seen every 1/48 scale kit Airfix has produced recently (I own a few) and I have to say this seems to be amoungst the nbest of them, perhaps even the best one yet.
    I know that WW2 aircraft seems to be main money maker for airfix judging by release cycle, but my wallet is open for any and all of Britains early jets made with this sort of quality.
    I wil lalso add that I hope the Type 26 and Type 31 are on the 1/350 design board. The ship market may not be big enough but there is a big deficit of UK 1/350 scale WW1 and WW2 warships.

  • @fabiosilva3799
    @fabiosilva3799 Рік тому

    Very good!
    I suggest the manufacture of the 1/48 kit of the Short Tucano trainer and also the Brazilian version of this trainer ... the EMB 312 Tucano.
    With the flap down option it will be perfect
    It will be a bestseller.
    Thank you.
