bexwh773 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well shes finally finished as best as I can with the Airfix cr@p decals. They look good, but they kept rolling up on me As this is my Dads birthday present (now belated - er - 17 June ) he wanted her Squadron Markings applied to the tail, so Im pretending they were replaced before her homeward flight to Waddington. I have also fitted her with the Jamming Pod (Thanks Entlim ) and I have used my traditional method of a bit of Ice Lolly Stick to extend it down where it should be - ish. Mikeew sent me the Flightpath PE set, which was used in places, but as I had trouble understanding the vague instructions Ive not used all of the bits, but they were used on the undercarriage and ladder mainly. She has Merkin, a USAF exchange pilot clambering up the ladder, he was kidnapped from my Revell B-1 in the stash I have also scratch built various cables, pipes & doodahs in the all 3 undercarriage bays using bits of wire, cocktail stick & cotton. Paint used is Revell enamels and as usual hairysticked Varnish is Decoart Duraclear Matt. I will also get some photos of the hand over to my Dad tomorrow WIP thread HERE I hope you like her, thanks for looking Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was your dad in the Falklands? He'll be well pleased with this beaut model. Are you going to build one for yourself now? Go on . . . do it tomorrow! Cheers, Tim.

A pubic wig for women. Firstly, sorry Ive been out all day, only just got home, and yes I did remember my camera.......... only just I have to ask this, Boss, how on earth did you know about the meaning of Merkin? Atleast now I'll know what to ask for if I ever become folically challenged Oh someone asked if he was in the Falklands, no he was on standby incase things went belly up. Thank you so much for the kind comments, not only was Dad well chuffed with his Vulcan but he was also very chuffed with your comments too Enough waffle, heres Dad with his Vulcan and on its new home, his table Thanks again Bex Edited July 25, 2008 by bexwh773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
