Blackburn AB-2 Buccaneer

It's cool, but I don't see the Admirals going for it because the USMC doesn't
get any flying things unless the Navy says yes. They have no independent
purchasing authority in regards to aviation.

How did they get their Harriers past the Admirals?

But as this is WhiffWorld the Admirals DID say yes to the Buccs...........

Looks great! 

One minor point if I may? Wouldn't the USMC use US-pattern LAU-series rocket pods rather than those RN-pattern Microcell ones? They certainly did on their Harriers.

That does look good Tom   

I remember seeing some footage of a Red Flag excercise where a Buccaneer is flying between some sand dunes where you can hear a US female controller going "holy poo-poo, look at this guy".

They were finally "convinced" to allow Harrier but by whom has always been a bit murky
and you know that the Marines had to have lost something in exchange for approval.
'Tis how the game is played.

Well done

As a long time Bucc fan... love this. The scheme works for me so great work 

I'm trying to visualise a Bucc in USAF SEA camo.  Any one here built or drawn one?

Fred, sort of, the RAAF F-111 scheme which was mostly SEA type on a Buccaneer in RAAF Service. Something that might/should have happened

I have a plan for a RAN FAA or RAAF Bucc (with Exocets).  It might need to be in full on USAF SEA.

A Buccaneer in Glossy Sea Blue. I love it.
