Nice to see how (finally!) Airfix it's starting to re-mold its older kits. The Buccaneer was a very unlucky aircraft, its diffusion could've been more widespread if the inter service rivalries btw Navy and RAF hadn't compromised its service. It was bought only by S. Africa, had the RAF choose it as attack aircraft, perhaps more nations would've bought it, given how surely was more economic (& reliable!) of the F111.
Recently finished a vintage Airfix Buccaneer...the NA-39 kit from 1975...and the pprogress in tooling tech between this kit and that one is mind blowingl.@@The_Male_Modeller
When I was a kid a mate of mine built that kit too. After seeing his I always wanted one so was quite pleased when Airfix brought out a new one! @@jaws848
