The Buccaneer S.Mk.2B version was capable of a multitude of attack roles over land and sea. A variety of offensive armaments are included in this model such as: 'Martel' Target acquisition pod, Anti-Ship & Anti-Radar missiles, 'Paveway' Laser-guided bomb, Rocket launchers and H.E. bombs. For self defence: AIM-9B 'Sidewinder' missile and ECM pod.

Markings for the five main RAF squadrons that operated the Buccaneer S.Mk.2B are included (12, XV, 16, 208 & 237 OCU), as well as examples of five different disruptive camouflage patterns - RAF, RAFG and experimental designs.
