Personnaly I lost track.

I consider it a pleasure to share. I appreciate the kind words and the pictures you all send.

By the way, did you also count the variants like on the British Airways model?

Thank you for the Herky-bird Bruno.

I have now completed the V-Force ... Valiant, Victor, Vulcan and a Javelin.
However, the last lot of Auto updates seem to have changed something on Photobucket, and I can't seem to post a picture.

Keep on snippin' ... whilst I keep on painting

Johnny.

My eyes are soar but the model is finished: the Blackburn Buccaneer.
I put two colour schemes in the same file: the ordinary navy scheme and a white navy version. (I didn't find any picture of a white RAF plane).

I added a special picture to show the "enormous" size of the airplane.

That's a Royal Navy Plane... and that reminds me that I forgot to change to color of the nose.
and I see that I put the intakes too much backwards. the plane is a but distorted. My mistake.

but thanks anyway for the link.

I tore off the intakes and the wings (with a little damage) and put them back on slightly forward. the result is better.

It's not the design, it's the builder.

Only the middle section of the model differs. (I checked to make sure, Lufthansa has no A318s in use. that's why they are not in the file, and these smallest planes have a higher tailplane on top of that).

The models have not yet been tested, but since you are an unofficial betabuilder, I would appreciate if you could do the honours. (is that a correct English sentence?)

Hope you like it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR!

Bruno, if you look a bit further down the page on the Wikimedia link asaf gave, you'll see one of RAF Laarbruch's Buccaneers.

Also, if you do a Google Images search on "RAF Laarbruch Buccaneer" there's plenty of pictures of them. I haven't fathomed out what's gone wrong with my Photobucket account, so I still can't post any pictures. All my 'Quick links' are greyed out, and I can't seem switch them back on. I can upload pictures to my bucket OK, but cannot share them for now.

I'm having quite a few problems on both computers now after allowing them to auto-update. Most of the problems seem to revolve around the Adobe Flash system, which both Photobucket and this forum appear to be built around.

Johnny.

Some useful info on the RAFG aircraft here.

Model Alliance MA-48187 - RAF German Part II MA-48188 - RAF Germany Part III Review by Ken Bowes

At the bottom of the page there's a 4 view of a Laarbruch Buccaneer ... and oh look, right next to it is a Bruggen Phantom ...

Elsewhere, the website also gives pics of the Bionic Budgie (Bruggen Jaguar).

I think they are actually selling books, but there's plenty of good pictures to pinch. Pity I can't pass them on at the moment though.

I have 25 pages of C-141B Dimensions and Areas if you would like me to scan and send them to you. I can't be sure but there may be some useful information in them. Send me a PM if you want them. Otherwise here is the link. Dimensions start at Page 6-2?
