Airfix A12014 Blackburn Buccaneer S.2 RAF 1:48 |
|||
| Plastic model kit of a British fighter jet from the 1950s. The Blackburn Company received an initial order for 26 new aircraft, which entered RAF service seven years after the Royal Navy. The RAF aircraft featured a number of differences from their maritime counterparts and were designated S.Mk.2B. For an aircraft that the Royal Air Force did not actually want, the Buccaneer proved to be an exceptionally capable machine, and when it was due to be retired, they were reluctant to do so. Although they were forced to take a naval aircraft that had originally been rejected, it wasn't long before the RAF's camouflaged Buccaneers began to show why they were definitely not a second-rate aircraft option.
