Blackburn Buccaneer 1:48 vs F-4B Phantom 1:48

As I am close to finish the Buccaneer I wanted to pose it next to the Phantom. Both served in the late 60's on the Royal British navy carriers . The Buccaneer served with the F-4K British Phantoms on Ark Royal and Hermes carriers. Both could carry
lots of weapons but the Buccaneer had a bomb bay which the Phantom lacked so despite engines with after burners the Buccaneer could take loads and penetrates low level targets even better than the Phantom . The only drawback of the Buccaneer was that behond 25 k feet it was responding lasy to controls movements as it was designed from the out set for the low level attack mission. In next chapters I will elaborate more about the two.
