Can anybody answer this undercarriage origin?

Can I have a go? This is the undercarriage leg from Trumpeter's planned 1/48 or 1/32 Buccaneer due for release later this year...

Do I win a prize?!

Spence - who's back to work today! Yay... or rather - booo!!!!

[Greg B]

Well, that is an additional Xmas present!

[Mike]

A 1:32 Bucc? It's getting very hard to stick to 1:48 here!

[Phartycr0c]

Yep.

I agree with a Buckin Ear. OMG a 1/32 Buck, again my wallet sphincter has just puckered!

[AnonymousAA72]

Oh dear!!!!

Me and my bank account are gonna have a falling out soon....

Any chance of it being downscaled to 1/72nd.....oh Double (Nay - Treble) Dear!!!

A 1:32 Bucc? It's getting very hard to stick to 1:48 here!

I'm with Mike here, all these 1/32nd scale releases are making me allmost forget 1/72nd and 1/48th will soon feel small!

Excellent news though,but a 1/32nd Bucc will need a lot of shelf space.

Folding wings please?

Shaun.

I am finding hard to stick to 1/72 let alone 1/48

This is going to seriously dent my bank balance. Let me think what id do; rasberry ripple. black and yellow test plane, black with yellow stripe anniversary and maybe a few others. I wont go mad and scale up all 13 gulf war Buccaneers (yet).

[Skii]

Ok the Revell Hawk had me pumped, this bugger is going to make me explode ! Despite the probable hefty pricetag.

Wowser :D

[buccymad]

mr song can you please confirm if this kit will be in 1/48th scale or 1/32nd scale ,as there is some debate about this !!

or maybe even both scales?

and please dont be afraid to ask for help,there are loads of us who would be willing to help with your reaserch.

[Av8fan]

Oh boy

must..resist..purchase..

FAIL!

Either scale works for me.

I keep saying to myself that I have to stop buying kits and Mr. Song keeps doing this to me.

[Mike]

It's Mr Song? Oops... sorry Mr Song...

[Plastic Bonsai]

This is excellent news! I am a great fan of this aircraft and new model in any scale is welcome.

I imagine Mr Song is a little dissapointed that the puzzle lasted for only one picture so he's holding out on the scale for now.

I did have a 1/12th scale low speed wind tunnel model (amazing what gets thrown out at the end of a project) and I know what a b*gg*r that was to keep in a small house. I donated it back to the Blackburn Archive that started up a few years later. I think the Archive is still going either at Brough or the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington and they might be able to help with information.

Meanwhile is Mr Song after references, data etc? Could this forum help with structured data dump in a topic of all things Buccaneer with sub-topics on the cockpit, undercarriage, airbrake, weapons.... etc and maybe a few war stories thrown in as well?

Wish I'd kept my gob shut now, might have seen a few more photos.

[Robert]

Excellent looking detail on those pics, but it maybe out my price bracket.

I can understand the hype around the larger kits from Trumpeter and esp. this one .... but are there any rumors for the small-scale guys (1/72) ??? ... and even some of them could be quite large !

So what about a new B-52 or even better B-1 ... or an update of the Tu-16 to make the latest H-6-versions like the H-6H and esp. the H-6K. ... or what about some transports like the Y-7 and Y-8 ... and then the KJ-200 ?????

I also hope for some new smaller birds like the Chinese J-7-series, the Q-5 ... !!

So please Mr. Song ....

Let's compare:

My hand with my 1/48th Airfix Bucc...

Conclusion: 1/48th

V.P.

[Obi-Jiff Kenobi]

But Trumpeter often use the same info to make models in more than one scale, so I wouldn't rule out a 1/32 Bucc to keep the Jaguar company.

But maybe it's this guy's hand? :

Trumpeter's Official Model holder?

V.P.

Just in case it's been missed on the other post in the parallel uniiverse that appears here sometimes.....

The test shot is 1/48th. ......But thats nothing new. Airfix produced a 1/48th scale resin master/test shot for their 1/72nd scale TSR2 way before they announced the 1/48th TSR2

Resin masters can be in any size......and any scale model can result!

TSR2 thread from ARC in 2005

My bet would be that Trumpeter will issue the 1/32nd (Again, Mr Song initially posted on LSP, a site that ONLY deals with 1/32nd and larger, so unless mr Song made a mistake........??) and 1/72nd scale kits and Hobbyboss the 1/48th kit. But we shall see!!!
