Description

Corgi AA34111 recreates Blackburn Buccaneer S.2 XV361 in the markings of No.800 Naval Air Squadron aboard HMS Eagle in 1971. The Buccaneer was developed as a powerful carrier-based maritime strike aircraft, designed to approach hostile shipping at very low altitude and high speed.

No.800 Naval Air Squadron operated the Buccaneer from Royal Navy aircraft carriers during the Cold War. Its crews trained for demanding low-level strike missions over sea and land, making use of the aircraft's strength, stability and ability to carry a substantial weapons load from a carrier deck.

This 1:72 scale Aviation Archive model captures the Buccaneer's distinctive profile and Fleet Air Arm markings. Its substantial diecast construction and naval aviation subject make it an impressive display piece for collectors of Royal Navy and Cold War aircraft.

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.
