Tony, if you can get some info on the Bucc in question, I may be able to help.
At present these pics are only 'practice attempts', the only cost would be for paints an art boards etc. I guess we are talking about the same cost as an add-on for FSX!!!

OK Tony, can you give me an idea of the camo era and serial nos, squadron markings etc you prefer. I do not have too much photos/stuff on the Bucc here, but I am sure the 'net' can provide the goods!

Hi Trev....well i am on nights at the mo saving lives.....
But this is the scheme i would love....in a suitable low level pose.....maybe down the runway or low over the sea... :think:
I can grab more photos if you need them...just need to find the right setting....

Hi Tony, background is not an issue, just the period and squadron markings (or even aircraft serial number/unit letter, if you have one in mind).
I would suggest low level at sea with an oil rig in the distance maybe, to show it is the North Sea :roll: ! The painting would be
unframed and the normal size is about 42 x 32 Cms, but it could vary in size, the bigger the size, the greater the cost in materials. I cannot exceed the hand luggage size either, if you fancy something huge!!!
If you could have a think about this over the weekend, I plan a trip to the art shop on Monday, to buy some art boards. I would send it via the post when I am back in the UK, another thing to think about I suppose, the larger it is, the harder it is to post.

Ok i just bought a book on the Bucc today (DaveB's fault) and will ponder this whilst at work...if you fly into Heathrow i live 2 minutes away and could meet you and also refund you for the materials....if not we can work that out later....the oil rig is a cracking idea Trev.....

Sorry Tony, I am strictly a Gatwick commuter! However, I am sure we can sort something out.
This is the shot that I thought would make a nice basis for the aircraft layout, with different markings and background.

I am without a PC
again, this time after a failure of my motherboard (on boot up first thing on the morning of New Years day :brick: , anyone heard of the
millenium bug having a 9 year hibernation period?

), but while I await a major upgrade to my PC, I have been hard at work on the painting front! I will post some photos ASAP, but have added the Beverley, EE Lighting and a Vickers Valletta to my portfolio!
