Handsome build. I have this one in the stash. Any fit issues?

Thanks guys 🙂 👍

@ Chilly Billy - No fit issues other than my own making. Just don't make the same mistake that I did by mounting the nose section to the main fuselage BEFORE attaching the ducts for the air intakes. 😉👍

Album info

My cousin got married last year, and her husband had this kit put away and asked me to build it for him as he is a big fan of the Buccaneer.
Being 1/72 it was a bit smaller than what I am used to, but it turned out ok in the end and I gave it to them as a wedding gift.

Of course it I would go on to make a bit of a blunder during assembly in that I attached the nose section to the main fuselage before attaching the air intake tubes. Fortunately I was able to resolve it by detaching the splitter and installing the tubes either side individually.

I wasn't able to get very many pictures of the completed build before I had to hand it over unfortunately.
