1/72 4-89 Airfix Blackburn NA-39 Buccaneer - Craftmaster Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Good++
Still factory sealed but the seal has split on the right side (and some is missing as shown). This 1960s model sports some of the most dramatic Craftmaster aircraft artwork ever made. A British carrier waves off a very heavily damaged Buccaneer, while enemy ships are within visual range. Other Buccaneers are taking heavy and accurate fire from the enemy, while one nearby ship is engulfed in flames. Propeller driven aircraft (Japanese Kate) fall burning from the sky. Kit features working unique rotating bomb bay, folding wings and working arresting hook. The Buccaneer was the world's first purpose designed low level 'below the radar' bomber. Low level strike aircraft have a shorter airframe life limit due to the stresses of low level flying, so the Buccaneer was designed to be very strong and even had many sub-assemblies milled from solid metal.
