Does anyone know if TANMODEL have released their new F-5 model kit yet?  I couldn't see anything definitive on the website (click logo below to go to it.)

Great cover art! 8) :)

Now, will the model be better than the old Airfix offering? ???

Having built the Airfix one I can tell you it wouldn't be difficult to make a better 1/48 kit of the Bucc.

As ugly as this thing is, one almost has to put on a photo nose that's all extended like on the Kfir.  And yes, Israeli markings to match.

Be simpler to just develop a recce variant of the rotary bomb bay, since they can be fairly easily swapped out.

A Bucc photo-recce version? Who are you going to snap photos of from 200 feet up?

Mind you, images like these:




Make me wonder about a carrier based (or otherwise) ASW variant with mini sonobuoys in weapons bay and perhaps a torpedo under each wing (maybe faired into the fuel tanks).  This could fill a role somewhat similar to the supposed Su-32FN.

Anyone make the conversion parts for that recce set-up?  That'd be something different to see, perhaps as recce support for Desert Storm.

Yes, apparently Alley Cat Models does in 1/72 which I think is the old Odds & Ordnance conversion

http://www.alleycatmodels.co.uk/blackburn-buccaneer-bombbay-recce-pack-airfix-6571-p.asp

And also Aviation Workshop did one, if you can find one these days.

Here's a good web page

I could see it going into a Canberra too --

Was the Recce system fixed or did it rotate when not in use leaving a smooth faced bombbay door?

I've been told that Aviation Workshop did a recce pack in 1/48.

EDIT: and also Heritage Aviation did a 1/48 conversion.  However I've just discovered that like Aviation Workshop, Heritage Aviation is no more ---- (but it has been bought up by someone).
