Very nice

Roll on payday

Whooooooooooooooooooooo! Cant wait for this one!!! Wonder if they could make it Tacpack compatable as that would be even better?

The radome on the tail fairing (forward facing) for the RWR is too long.

Yes I know I am getting in a tizz about it, you can blame the RAF for giving me a 'Q' annotation on ARI 18223 and ARI 18228!

Lovely, I've been waiting for this one....the S1 is great, this one will be even better.

S'ok Nev, RAF gave me Q-ABC-A at Honington!!
IIRC mod 1044 was Pave Spike mod.... also changed the speedbrake and outer wing pods.

Then if we could persuade Dave G to equip a Hunter T7 with the IFIS
.. wish....

Bl**dy RAF! Always liked to pigeonhole us. Still, we had some great times and I would not regret doing it all again.

Cheers Pete!

According to http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/Pa ... ech3.html? which has a list of most of the airframe modifications, 1044 was the airbrake strengthening petals while 1641 was Pave Spike, which makes sense as that didn't enter UK service until ~79. The Pave Spike Mod may have been incorporated as part of Mod 1499 which was the package Mod to RAF spec.

Having said that I mainly used it as a way of differentiating between the early S2 and the later S2 with the intake fairing and airbrake mods as they didn't have a separate designation.

The tail bullet radome should be getting changed imminently as it's a painting exercise as opposed to having to remap it.
