1/72 1404-100 Airfix NA-39 Blackburn Buccaneer - Craftmaster Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM+
Still factory sealed and in investment-grade 'Near Mint+' condition. This is one of the more dramatic Craftmaster boxes. A British carrier launches a heavily battle-damaged Buccaneers with enemy ships within visual range, meaning that something has already gone horribly wrong. Other Buccaneers are taking heavy and accurate fire from the enemy, while one ship is engulfed in flames; to add to the carnage, propeller driven aircraft fall burning from the sky. 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. This model kit features opening unique rotating bomb bay, folding wings and working arresting hook. This is one of two known Craftmaster issues of the NA-39.
