About product

Buccaneer S.2B in 1:48 scale, canopy frame mask

Pre-shaped masks cover the glazing of the tandem cockpit of the British Buccaneer S.2B strike aircraft. The individual pieces follow the run of the frames, so after spraying the edges stay sharp and equally wide along their whole length. The set is cut for the Airfix kit.

A machine built for flight at ground level

The Buccaneer was created as a carrier-based attack aircraft for the Royal Navy, meant to reach its target just above the water, below the radar horizon. A stocky fuselage shaped according to the area rule, blowing of the lifting surfaces with compressed air bled from the engines and a rotating bomb bay in the underside of the fuselage made it an exceptionally steady platform in the turbulent air low over the ground. The S.2 version received Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines, and the land-based S.2B then served with the Royal Air Force until the early 1990s, when it also took part in operations in the Persian Gulf.

What to watch out for when spraying

The side frames are narrow and the windscreen is markedly curved, and that is exactly where hand-cut tape springs away most often. Press the pieces into all the transitions with a toothpick, first apply a thin coat of the interior shade and only then the exterior camouflage. It pays to fix the edge of the mask with a light clear coat, so that paint does not creep under it.

Who the set suits

  • Builders of British carrier and strike aircraft
  • Modelers who want frames with no touching up afterwards
  • Those who would rather avoid cutting tape
  • Collectors of machines from the Cold War period

FAQ

The bulges on the sides and at the rear follow from the area rule, which reduces drag in the transonic region. For masking that means the transition from the glazing into the fuselage is not a simple curve.

The interior shade first, then the base coat of the exterior finish once that has dried, and the camouflage last. Lift the mask off while the last coat has only just set, not after several days.

The S.2B is the land-based Royal Air Force variant. The basic shape of the airframe and the cockpit glazing stayed identical to the naval S.2, so in shape it is the same machine.
