Quote from: PR19_Kit on May 21, 2026, 02:36:32 AMMultiple option on a Bucc that DON'T include an S1?

What options ARE there, apart from a different RAF/RN decal sheet and a bulged bomb bay door, or not? And the different wing tips maybe?

Loadout & paint, basically:
RN with 4 x Bullpups
RN with dumb bombs/rockets
RAF cammo with dumb bombs/rockets
RAF cammo with anti-ship load (3-4 x MARTeLs)
RAF cammo with Pave Spike, ALQ-101, couple of LGBs
RAF Desert Storm with above loadout
South African with rocket pack and 4 x AS30s
South African with rocket pack and local cluster bombs ("Golfball" bombs?)


Only in real life...

Yeah, but what's the chance of Trumpy doing a what if version? If it was AZ, then odds on, but...

I almost accidentally put my favorite idea on the list, it's so obvious: Marineflieger with 4 x Kormorans

I'd buy that for a dollar!! I'd  also add a Luftwaffe Buccaneer with all sorts of other nasties! ;D

having had a quick squint at my Haynes manual
ill add BL755 cluster bombs
Lepus flares
it says WE177 one or 2 in bomb bay, so not necessarily an out on, but would look good
sea eagles
side winders
red beard is in one of the photos elsewhere
all would add a few more bangs to the Bucc  :banghead:

take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

I presume that's what you were replying to?

Could have some fun with a Luftwaffe Bucc: how about making a custom version of an MW-1 submunition dispenser that fits in the bomb bay instead of the normal door?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

For a decal options, there were several RAE and A&AEE aircraft in some eye-catching schemes. Two had a Tornado radomes (one IDS ans one ADV). Some of these are covered on existing sheets.

That's a thought! 😉👍.
I'd settle for a simpler approach though. Maybe a MER under each wing carrying 6 x CBU-100s each and, another 4 - 6 CBUs in the bomb bay? Would also look nice in that multi toned green/grey wraparound scheme.

IIRC Germany used British BL755 cluster bombs, and you can get those easily enough from Tornado kits. German Tonkas did use different ECM pods (Cerberus?) so maybe you could fit those to a Luftwaffe Buccaneer.

If I HAD any Tornado kits! 😂. I do have a number of Hasegawa's weapon sets though with plenty of the required items.

Seems there's no limit to the amount of US whizz bangs available in kit form but, pretty much nothing for UK/European items unless you count stupidly expensive resin accessories

Italeri and Airfix had NATO weapons sets at one point, but they haven't re-popped them for years.

They pop up occasionally. Main problem with them is the PE which isn't great for the fat fingered among us. Hasegawa do do a European weapons set, but it's mainly the newer whizzbangs. There are also various 3D .stl's available out there, though you obviously need some sort of appropriate printer to produce them.

TBH, I intend to replace the Airfix PE (what is left, anyway) with 5 or 10 thou card - much easier to work with, as my superglue-fu is a bit hit and miss...

Well, I HATE p/e parts with a passion. Any I find in a model are immediately fed to the bin monster. The 1/48 options for anyone whiffing the Trumpy Buccaneers are even more limited when it comes to  non American ordnance.
