I aimed to get a scale representation first, followed by HOPE.........

The wing section is not scale as I couldn't find any info on it, so I used other well established sections of about the appropriate t/c ratio.

If I had to add a significantly bigger tailplane, or extend the wing span to make it work, then to me at least it wouldn't be a Buccaneer.

Keeping the relatively small engine exhaust diameters drove limitations on the exhaust pipe and engine selection.

Making larger, non-scale landing gear doors to avoid having to get the main gear to shrink on retraction would have been sooooo much easier than keeping the scale doors and the gear. But that's cheating.......
