VIDEO REVIEW


What you have is a good quality publication that’s in an ‘at-a-glance’ format and each publication in the series so far includes some great features for anyone interested in building a scale model of the famous Blackburn Buccaneer bomber in any scale. It’s a great, manageable read even if you are just interested in aviation, the aircraft type or that period of history in general.

The recent release of a new-tool 1:72 Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C from Airfix has ignited or should I say re-ignited interest in modelling the type and I am following at least 3 builds on social media as I type. Until now we only have the old Airfix kit in 1:48 (if you can get it) or the very old Matchbox 1:72 offering that’s eclipsed by the new Airfix release.

Here’s a brief summary of what’s included:

• a summary of the history and development

• high quality colour profiles for multiple aircraft

• line drawing cutaway diagram

• wide selection of period photographs, several in colour where possible

• a finished scale model feature of the new Airfix 1:72 release

• a list of the main kits, decals and accessories that are currently available at the time of publishing.

Highly recommended and a steal at the price!
