Looks good so far Sheldon. I would like this kit as it's one of my favourite jets, but I get out-bid every time. 🙁

Then wait for the Tanmodel Buccaneer in 48 which will be released in the near future😉

That's true Soren, maybe it's fate telling me that I should invest in the Tanmodel offering instead.

I'm very patient Murad, I don't mind waiting. I won't buy it when it first comes out anyway, I'll wait for the prices to start coming down.

Cockpit looks good. Wonder if the Buccaneer is on Airfix's 'new mould' list?
