[@allgood6760]

Nice one mate!... I got an Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer the other day it has decals for HMS Eagle... I went on board HMS Eagle when it visited NZ in the early 70's and I fell in love with the Buccaneer and been interested ever since 👍✈️🇳🇿

Bought this recently, looking forward to it! Will be pre ordering the Gannet, that will be awesome!

[@MOS6510Models]

Hope you enjoy it!mine is still on th shelf collecting dust lol

[@lesgl]

When the Martel missile came into service the wing pylons had to be moved slightly further apart so opening the correct holes in the wing panels is going to be pretty important for the marking option you choose

[@MOS6510Models]

ill look at that my friend

[@celticwest]

Nice to see Airfix giving a seatbelt option. It looks amazing.

[@MOS6510Models]

It really is!

[@geofflight1919]

Absolute cracking review MOS. Will be seriously considering this one in the very near future. Would love Airfix to revisit & retool the Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 in 1/48 or even 1/32

[@MOS6510Models]

Thank you :)

[@MrPDoff]

Looks like a great kit

[@MOS6510Models]

worth the money indeed

[@jonnypalmberg8351]

According to the decals it must be HMS Ark Royal in the background on the box...

[@MOS6510Models]

Yeah most deffo

Where's the Buccaneer? In the buckin box!

[@O5o787]

Definitely looks like an amazing and very interesting kit, look forward to seeing how it is to build

You and me both! lol.. its time i need

[@O5o787]

@@MOS6510Models I can build it for you if you don’t have enough time 😅

[@garyvictory3513]

Definitely a nice kit. A big improvement on the old tooling. Certainly a kit i would like to get. Thanks for the review. 👍

[@MOS6510Models]

Thanks for watching!

[@huwtindall7096]

I'm not really into modern aircraft or armour but man this is tempting. Looks like quality up there with the best manufacturers and a classic British design to boot.

[@MOS6510Models]

Have to agree with that matey

[@scalemodelingltd]

Airfix have improved massively recently and yes some of there newest kits would rival Tamiya. But so do the prices, I built the 1:24 Hellcat earlier this year and its a stunning kit and model when built. I hope you build it, if it pisses you off put it to one side for a while until the enthusiasm returns. 👍

[@MOS6510Models]

Have to agree with that matey.. how do you design better models that scale modellers will love?.. Hire scale modellers!!

[@memememe2674]

The engineering and research as improved yes BUT quality of moulding and the QC to stop the crap reaching us is defo not Tamiya. I don't but AF anymore, to many sink marks, partial moulding of parts, clear parts are dire and the horrible cheap plastic.

[@Dancing-Brush]

was nice review, I have one question. Could I build this kit as gulf war spec???

[@MOS6510Models]

I think you can get the aftermarket decals

[@WayneWelly]

Very lovely looking kit

[@MOS6510Models]

I think so too!

[@negativeimage2445]

Looks good. I'm going to wait for the raf version though

[@MOS6510Models]

Good shout.. there is a frame missing "F" maybe thats for different parts for a later release

[@MarkloopRAF]

Me too, especially as I worked on them. Hopefully they'll include a Desert Storm colour scheme as well.

[@negativeimage2445]

@@MarkloopRAF cool, that's what I'm hoping for as well. Can put it with my desert babe then 😀

[@mikemontgomery2654]

I really wish that nose cone was a singularly molded piece. Getting rid of that seem on the old kit turned into a nightmare for me. Still not sure how I feel about the kit.

[@MOS6510Models]

i think its gonna be around for a lot of years..

Looks mint! Very impressive!

@@MOS6510Models its not on the radar at the moment, i do love the Buc but i would have to get the cammo scheme if i did

Probably a good contender for kit of the year

[@MOS6510Models]

its deffo up there.. and against other manufacturers releases

Wait to see how many buyers get short shots, sink marks and dodgy clear parts, then talk about kit of the year

[@ivanwomack]

Hi, Ive just received mine in the post and sprue a, parts 6 and 7 have some bad moulding faults on the surface. Can't really see those parts well in your video. Might be worth checking them out. Could you let us know if they are OK? Thanks

I’ll have a look matey

Looks like one to buy on a 20% weekend 👍

[@MOS6510Models]

It is!

[@peterpimentel5881]

Looks like an interesting nicely tooled kit however $120.00 dollors here in the states is a bit much for a kit also why since they retooled the kit why didnt the company Airfix put more decal options in the kit Like RAF or South African?

[@tonyosborne9008]

The part options in this kit don't allow for RAF or SAAF versions, they will need a lot of different parts including bombay, different slipper tanks, weapons etc.

[@MOS6510Models]

Theres the answer.. but im sure it will come eventually

[@alancrowley7991]

Could be Ark Royal, Victorious or maybe Eagle....

[@guypenrose5477]

Eagle and Victorious had the Dustbin 3D radar, but neither ship had the catapult bridle catchers, so it is Ark Royal. Also the scheme has Ark’s letter ‘R’.

[@fsr170409]

Definitely Ark Royal

[@marcarsenal1]

Damm looks great. Maybe one of there best.

[@MOS6510Models]

Its deffo up there

[@VFCproductions]

Looks a bit of alright, dunnit?

[@MOS6510Models]

I agree!!

[@brucegibbins3792]

If a kit builder wants this aircraft type and the kit is the only example in 1/48, a preferred scale and there is not another and the sticker price is fair and reasonable, a kit builder may need to deny themself some regular treat, say a nice chardonnay, six pack of imported suds, a visit to the towns pleasure palace or even a bunch of, "please forgive me" Geraniums for the Mrs, just because you're a thoughtful guy, and covering some anticipated future bases, just in case, then for goodness sake dig deep, swallow hard and by the darn kit.

[@MOS6510Models]

I'm with you...

[@TheSort3r]

Probably the Ark Royal

How dare you do an unboxing and not count all the rivets and tell us how many there are! Only joking, defo not a rivert counter, but I bet someone's counted them.

A sink hole in the instrument panel on a brand new kit for this price? Sorry, for 80- 85€ (I guess which will be the price in Germany) I don't want to see any sink hole in a kit and definitely not on an instrument panel.

just looking.. i cant see one.. is it the light?

[@violetrock9958]

@@MOS6510Models No, it is not the light. Check the sprue, where the two IP are on. The lower one has a sink hole in between the two dials.
