Blackburn Buccaneer
These are Scotia Blackburn Buccaneers (CABM08). Nice clean models with little flash or mold lines. For some reason they have a quite large metal block on the nose (?mold feeder duct), which took some filing to remove, but after that there was very little else to do.
This one I painted in the Fleet Air Arm colours of the 60's and 70's.
This one is painted in the RAF wrap around scheme of the 70's and 80's.
The pair. I really love this aircraft. It used to terrify me as a boy at air shows, the noise from a fast flypast was simply out of this world! High speed subsonic (Mach 0.85 at 200ft according to Google), nuclear capable, maritime strike and ground attack, could operate from airfields or carriers, what more could you ask.

Update 10/09/12
Well, after a level 1 search, I finally managed to find the dongle that lets me connect my cameras flash card to the PC. So without further ado, here are some photos of my 1/300 H&R aircraft.
A pair of Mosquitos (or Mossies if you prefer), on in maritime and one in temperate cammo schemes. Paints are Vallejo, decals from Dom's Decals and hand painted by me.
Another view of the Mossies. I picked up the flight stands at the Phalanx Show, but can't remember who from. They pivot to allow the aircraft to dive, climb, bank, etc. I've mounted them using a pair of REE magnets from FoW.
My Wellington, one of my favourites, the good old Wimpy!
The Lancaster, ready to add some extra firepower to one of Monty's offensives.
A pair of Hurricane IIs, hunting for DAK armour in the desert.
A pair of Blenheims, also ready to hunt down the DAK, fighter cover permitting.
That's it for now. My kitchen table is bowing under the weight of British and German North African armour and infantry from H&R. I also ordered some packs of GHQ fallschirmjaeger from Magister Militum, which I'm in the process of painting as the Ramcke Brigade. They are in various stages of completion, from bare metal, through painted and varnished to based, so I'll be posting some more soon - now that I've found the dongle.
