Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer Diorama

Hello All!

I am currently building two 1/48th scale HS Buccaneer’s for a diorama.
One is undergoing a pre-flight inspection by the ground crew. The other Bucc (sat next to it) has its engines running (not literally).
Which panels, if any, would be opened by the ground crew on the Buccaneer before and left open during start up?

Buccaneer S1 ‘walk-round’ on this site – a lot of photos so it might take a while to load! 🙂

A decent liney would only have one panel open at any one time -the one he has his head stuck in. You’ll upset every aircraft engineer who ever lived if you leave too many panels open……:D

I like that one….. 😀

You can do a lot worse than check out the Buccaneer pics on the Bruntingthorpe Latest thread.
