Here is the newer of the new updates:Update#3 (13/1/01)

Below you will be able to find some images of my Bucc in progress. These pictures were taken on Sunday 12th of November 2000. Hope you enjoy the view.

Some pictures of the Neomega cockpit installed on the first Bucc.

The front cockpit sills needed to be filled and levelled.

The instrumentation was scratched on with a pin (I used a white resin instrument panel).

This is the second pit almost finished and ready to go in.

The view from above of the secomd pit.

The first Bucc as of 12/11/00. This was my first model mainly glued with superglue and boy it worked great. If they DNA test this baby they will definately know who put her together (my skin on my fingrs is just now starting to grow back 2 weeks later!)

The bottom of the Bucc. The wheel well inserts come from the Eduard set.

The top of the Bucc. I have cut the flap sections out ready for the resin replacements.

The airbrakes are from Airwaves and are awaiting drilling out. I will be using brass tubing for the BBQ bits.

The compressor faces come from the Acdemy Mig 29 and just fit when the intakes are shortened.

I eventually filled my wing tanks with resin to give it rigidity. I may even cast these as I had much cursing getting these right.

The tank from the side.

This is my intended scheme for a/c number one.

 

This is the intended scheme for a/c number two.

 

How did this get in here? (One of the reasons I am not further along with my Bucc! )Still have to paint the bang seat and the u/c. I melted the canopy in the oven while drying the paint. DO NOT FEAR for I have a spare!!!! :o).

BTW it is a South Arfican MB326
