Blackburn Buccaneer S.Mk 2   10.5"   7.25"

The Buccaneer, originally known as the Blackburn N.A.39, was built at Brough and Holme-on-Spalding Moor in E. Yorkshire as the world's first specially designed, low-level, high-speed strike aircraft. It was to meet an Admiralty requirement for an entirely new carrier-borne weapons system, capable of delivering a nuclear weapon and flying beneath enemy radar at a speed in excess of Mach 0.9. No.801 Squadron reformed at Lossiemouth on 14th October 1965 after re-equipping from the Buccaneer S.Mk.1 to the S.Mk.2 with Rolls-Royce Spey engines.

Blackburn Buccaneer S.Mk 2

Designed as a specialized strike aircraft capable of carrying nuclear weapons, the Blackburn Buccaneer was first flown on April 30, 1958. This mid-wing, twin-engine monoplane had a number of advanced features, including an area-ruled fuselage and a variable incidence tailplane. The Buccaneer served with the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force between 1962 and 1994, seeing action in the first Gulf War when 12 Buccaneers flew 218 missions to drop bombs and to provide a laser designation capability for other British aircraft. Buccaneers also served with the Fleet Air Arm between 1962 and 1978, where some were modified to carry anti-ship missiles.

Corgi's 1:72 scale Buccaneer has small wings with vortex generators molded to the top surface behind the simulated stainless steel leading edge. The most notable unique feature of this model is the massive, articulated, spring-loaded air brake at the rear, which is easy to display in the deployed position and snaps shut with almost no gap. The hinged tail hook below rotates and can also be displayed in the deployed position. The robust metal landing gear is keyed and is easy to install for ground display and provides true tracking of the gear.
