a4s4eva Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I thought I give the Airfix Buccaneer a go, I've read plenty that says it's a bit of a dog but I picked it and the Neomga Resin set up for a pretty good price. Unfortunately the aircraft they chose for the Desert Storm aircraft in the kit is probably the one with the most boring nose art. Now I've seen the Model Alliance Decal sheet and it looks nice, BUT man is it expensive, and there's no way I'm going to pay that, plus I only want to do one aircraft. Anyway to get to the point. Has any seen/heard of Modeldecals Gulf war Buccaneer sheets, Meteor Products have them at a resonable price. The part no's are MD109 and MD110. Even google hasn't been my friend when looking for these. Or does anyone have an unwanted/half complete Model Alliance sheet they wouldn't mind selling <_< Also has anyone seen a photo of a Buccaneer with LGBs. My references say they dropped around 48 weapons and these were carried on stations 2 and 3. They ditched the AIM-9 and Slipper tank(if thats what it's called) Thanks to anyone who can help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 PM me your email and I can send you a British LGB for your Bucc if you want. I might also have a Laser pod somewhere. If you want other add weapons / aftermarket to you Bucc I would recomend the Flight Path set, loads of PE to jazz the bucc up and weapons. http://www.djparkins.clara.net/fltpath/fpmaster.htm Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) Modeldecals only produced 1/72 sheets, so that won't help you. After several weeks the Buccs did carry an LGB, and there are pictures of them with an AIM-9M on the left outboard station, designator pod on the left inboard, LGB on the right inboard, and ALQ-101 ECM pod on the right outboard. You might want to check here for photos and info on Desert Storm http://212.158.133.3/pages/en/menu.html Regards, Murph Edited October 22, 2005 by Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spike7451 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Buccs mainly carried Laser Designator pods in the early stages of the conflict to lase for the Tornado & ,to a lesser extent,the Jaguar, until we got the TIALD pods ( we only had 2 or 3 & these were named after 'Viz' the fat s***!)
