Buccaneer anyone? was created by LaserCraft
About 3 weeks ago I got talking to a guy who wanted a new model for next year, a Buccaneer S2b, in 1/4 scale! Well after some serious thinking about it, it took me about 5 mins to agree, and now 3 weeks later the initial draughts are done.

For those who can't get laser's links to work -







if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

I must say I did wonder what had happened to this one Dylan. Something like this could help us to attract more members

Don't forget that the tailcone splits for the airbrakes!

If anyone wants to read all about the Buccaneer, have a look here -

Yes would love one, after working on 1-1 scale would be a dream.
Unfortunately I prefer to remain married.

Now that I am older it seemed nice I have more patience.
