cathasatail Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Good evening all, First of all, apologies about the photos-they're not the best.... Secondly, being a rather large Vulcan fan I thought why not try the Cyberhobby 1:200 kit, I would have never thought of buying one, but it was on Ebay for £5. And oh, my. What a kit! The panel lines are crisp, the decals are outstanding and the options available (shrike, blue steel, gear up/down, open crew hatch, etc, are quite varied. It even includes parts for the instrument panel and ejection seats-which shockingly also include control columns!!! A brilliant kit- the one issue being that the pressure needed in order the keep the upper and lower wing sections mated together while gluing is fairly substantial-requiring a clamp to get a good fit. Furthemore, it doesn't come with a bomb bay, so I've scratchbuilt a fairly crude bomb bay and managed to squash that into the aircraft. -Painted using an airbrush and Vallejo "Model Air" colours. Scratchbuilt bomb bay- including hand painted VTTS logo and a sponsor's logo inside (very messy, i know!) So, that's pretty much it from me, Thanks for having a look around Sam Edited January 16, 2016 by cathasatail 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Love it, Vulcan looks superb but hanging it from the ceiling is just class! Reminds me of my room as a kid, you could barely see the roof. Excellent work and a nice collection too. Eng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hello,Sam - My compliments to you on a fine looking build of your 'Vulcan'.You've done a great job on the bomb bay and she's perfectly ready for her 'bomb bay pass'.You have a splendid collection of models and I love their flying poses from the ceiling.My kind of 'Cockpit Room' to a tee!! All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathasatail Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) No probs,what about a Victor after the 1:48 Vulcan.... I would definitely be up for doing the whole v-force (despite the fact that it will surely take a few years!) Other aircraft high on my list to make from card is the Buccaneer, Nimrod and the Soviet Buran Shuttle (in 1:48)-the Buran would be a huge beast... Anyway, I've still got almost a year (estimated) until I get near the end-point for the Vulcan, so still plenty of time left to mull over the next project!!!
