Wonderful model... the weathering is outstanding, overall and especially the exhaust stain on the tail!

Something I would never try myself is the yellow and red striping on the intake covers: that's simply insane 😊

 

Cheers

Well done!  My only question is about the exhaust staining on the fuselage.  I don't know enough about the Buccaneer to say definitively, but were the exhaust stains as pronounced as on your build?  More a question than a comment, otherwise, fantastic work!

Gorgeous build!  Just a little nag if you are interested in strict accuracy.  The Sidewinder would only have been on the port outboard station.  Just a simple swap with the LGB would make it right.  You could also accurately model it with 2 LGBs simply replacing the sidewinder with another LGB.  Anyway, it looks great as is and not many folks would recognize the discrepancy!

Wow, beautiful work. The weathering is spot on for its reputation time. I remember seeing these in tv when Gulf War broke out. I was just a kid back then but blown about by all those cool jets in desert camo.
