This Airfix Blackburn Buccaneer S.2B Gulf War Model Kit captures this aircraft in authentic detail, making it a great addition to any model collection.

During RAF air operations in the Gulf War of 1991, the effectiveness of Iraqi anti-aircraft defences resulted in Tornado and Jaguar strike missions having to be flown at higher altitudes, reducing their effectiveness. They needed the support of the RAF's ageing Blackburn Buccaneer jets with their 'Pave Spike' laser designator equipment to deliver ‘smart’ munitions effectively.

The only problem was that these aircraft were back at their home base in Scotland. The race was on to prepare and fly 12 Buccaneers in newly applied desert camouflage to the Persian Gulf and in just a matter of days.

The model kit captures the aircraft in 1:72 scale, ideal for more experienced model collectors. There are 141 parts included, with two scheme options for recreating the Buccaneer.

Pack size: 32 x 6.3 x 49.5cm (12.6 x 2.5 x 19.5 inches)
Length: 268mm
Wingspan: 186mm

Rated 5 out of 5 by Azureglo from A superb Buccaneer A gorgeous 1/72 kit of the Buccaneer: This is from the more advanced series so probably not the best for a beginner with a high parts count. That said, excellent detailing throughout and the fit is excellnet providing you prepare the parts well and remove excess promer/paint. The decals are for the Gulf War “pink” planes and are excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnL47 from Good kit, slightly confusing instructions. An enjoyable kit to build. There are a few bits of poor moulding that need to be cleaned up, but it generally goes together very well. The instructions could be a little clearer, where it deals with different build options, but it is nice that you can choose to build it with a variety of under wing equipment and either with the wings folded or not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Albert3 from Great Airfix kit A great example of how good Airfix kits are getting back to being, the detailing is excellent and decals nice and clear and crisp. Not a kit for a novice, definitely needs quite a lot experience.
