If it’s one thing I like, it’s things that are in scale to my giant robots. At 1/144, there’s quite a selection, but since the whole 1/100 thing was really only done by Tamiya and Heller, there’s not a lot out there. That having been said, the Tamiya 1/100 kits are really nice, despite their age!

I dug around my stack for something different and came upon the Tamiya 1/100 Buccaneer. It’s a fairly simple looking kit, but since I’ve built a few of these, I’m pretty excited about how it should turn out. I also like that it has the South African markings for the S.50!

Hi Adam,

I second Jessie and ask that you review the Buccaneer here at Aeroscale.

If you like 1/100 Tamiya models then here's the first 11 Tamiyas of about 20 1/100 aircraft reviews.

Goodness me.

It seems this little guy has gotten me more attention than I thought it would!

I noticed in your 1/100 list you didn't mention the G-91 or IL-28. I have built the Beagle, and it was a nice kit too. I don't have any "out of box" shots for it, though. I also have the G-91 still unbuilt, not to mention the Mirage III and MiG-21.

As for 1/100 Aircraft, don't forget the Heller Vautour IIB (I think it is) and the Trident (I'm sure it's in 1/100, too), and I think there might be a couple more; maybe an Ouragon or Super Mystere or something. I have a built Vautour, and an unbuilt Trident. I think their Alize is also 1/100, no?

Man, when you think about it, there are a lot of these little guys running around!

I love the 1/100 Voodoo. I had no idea there was such a thing. I wish I had that one!
