Description

Corgi AA34114 is a detailed 1:72 scale diecast representation of the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S.2B, finished as XT279 in its unofficial black scheme while serving with No.16 Squadron at RAF Laarbruch circa 1983.

No.16 Squadron operated the Buccaneer from RAF Laarbruch as part of RAF Germany. Its crews specialised in high-speed, very low-level strike missions, training to penetrate heavily defended airspace with conventional or nuclear weapons.

Designed originally for carrier operations, the Buccaneer combined a strong airframe, internal weapons bay and excellent low-level performance. After Royal Navy service ended, RAF Buccaneers remained formidable strike aircraft throughout the Cold War.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
