    Excellent.

    I made a model kit of one of these when I was a kid. I ruined the tail cone and loved the folding wings. Mine had a deep blue upper colour scheme. Navy blue I guess.

    I think these would have made a great little model with their opening tail cone and folding wings.

    It was my favourite, but I used too much glue and ended up melting part of the tail cone.

    Your next challenge is having the buccaneer come in to land on the deck of a carrier..

    For anyone that doesn't realise, the Buccaneer was designed in the late 1950s for carrier use and did a variety of roles in conjunction with the navy and even took part in the first gulf war. Definitely a tough old bird.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks Larry, I'm still rummaging around in old files.
