Hokum Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The old banana bomber is one of my favourite FAA and RAF aircraft. I've searched about alot here and on line and it seems popular but no models? Is there a reason for this? Quote

Is there a reason for this? I haven't been able to find one... I also love that bird! Any WIP of it? Quote
MigBuster Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Yes one was in the works years back - but it hasnt been released to the public yet. Quote

Spinners Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Any reason? Is it hard to model due to the blown wings? I don't know but I'd take a version without! It was an amazing aircraft that should have been developed quicker, developed more comprehensively and kept in service longer too! BTW didn't the F-104 have a blown wing? Or a partially blown wing?

sugarblues Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Boy, I feel like dying every time you post your wip shots of the Bucc, Russo! It'll be fantastic to see that baby in overall EDSG with 809NAS' Phoenix on the tail... thanks for sharing the pics! Very nice work indeed... Didn't you also consider an S.1 at some point, or am I imagining things again... SB Quote

Anthony W. Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Yes one was in the works years back - but it hasnt been released to the public yet. Didn't Razbam make one for the MFS series? Surprised they didn't make it for TW as well... I love the bird. Quote
Jug Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 You really should finish that. Ditto. Looks like a beauty to me. Quote

fallenphoenix1986 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 This is going to be awesome once Hinche's new carrier fleet puts to Sea :) Craig Quote
+SkippyBing Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Rus, minor point, it looks like you've got the early S.2 wing which I don't think the RAF ever used, the later one moved the outboard pylons further out for Martel fin clearance and lost the fifth vortex generator, counting from the inside, the outer pylon ends up under the gap. The new pylons used the new standard NATO connection vs the original single point UK connection so I'm 99% sure all the RAF examples had it and all the RN ones got it by '72 at the latest. Oh and I think that's an S.1 cockpit going by some of the magnetic indicators and the engine gauge layout, if you want references I have the Pilot's Notes for both in PDF format which have some nice shots of the cockpits. Hands up who thinks I'm making a Buccaneer for FSX? Edited March 9, 2009 by SkippyBing Quote
+AleDucat Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Oh God! Man! That pit looks sooooo real! I can even feel it! Wish I could do such a thing like that for my projects Edited March 9, 2009 by AleDucat Quote
greendog Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 a flying bananna would be fantastic, lightnings on point air defence, toom's on CAP and sweep, bannanas on low level strike. A man does have his dreams haha Quote
subarug Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Ive been waiting since 05 for this! LOL. It would be awesome in the camo above as well as anti-flash white, or even the desert storm sand pink. I want that thing loaded up with rockets and bombs and you name it! I know there was a recce pod that could go in the bomb bay, did they ever make a gun pod? Quote
