Buccaneer help needed

[+Soulfreak 6,351]

I´ve tried to find the modelaliance decals sheets

for the "Gulf War Buccaneers" but no luck. All sold out.

Maybe someone here has got a high rez scan of that sheet?

That would be very helpful

I really like this plane! Not big on most foreign stuff, but always thought that the Bucccaneer was very neat looking. Always got a kick out of Desert Storm - all of our forces were instructed not to paint anything on the planes that might be objectionable to our Arabic hosts, no Playboy magazines in the barracks, etc. - and here come the Brits with their Buccaneers with girls all over the noses!! Ya got to love it!!

not only the bucs, also the RAF Tornados & Jaguars had this special paintings during Desert Storm...

[charlielima 328]

I just checked Microscale. No joy. It looks like that decal sheet From Hannents has them all. the payload feature on the blackburn bucaneer is kind of a cool resource.

I'm tempted to model a pair each with a pair.

Well we aimed to please!

Indeed they did, though the Jags were a little less risqué than the Tonka's and Bucc's with names such as "The Guardian Reader" (for the benefit of our non-UK members that's a UK newspaper)!

 

Sorry for the quality, but we didn't have digital camera's back in 91, so I've had to scan these from my 6x4's!

Indeed, I recently saw some progress pics in the German forum of the wing re-build. I like his method of redo-ing the polys that join the wing to the engine a lot, very similar to Bunyap's tutorial, works very well too and gives a nice smooth finish.

Those Gulf War skins are looking fantastic mate, nice work!

[+Soulfreak 6,351]

now Volker needs a scan of that decal set i think....

[BattlerBritain 1]

'Katrina Jane' was a Jag by the way.
