cathasatail Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) There are a few photos of the airbrakes and a nice photo of the tail to nose (looking along the upper surfaces) on this page: http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/vulcan/walkaround.php -I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between the upper/lower airbrake bays, except for that there's two on top and one underneath Although the second image I originally posted showed a fairly clean underside bay, the images in the Thunder and Lightnings page show otherwise.... It's a mystery to me, I'm afraid :\ Also, this might be helpful at some point? : Kind regards, Sam Edited June 21, 2017 by cathasatail 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cezarek Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) I have a problem with the correct appearance of the inlets. All photos are taken from the ground level and it is not very clear what shape and size the inlets have. I can not find any good plans showing this element of the plane. Maybe you have the dimensions of these inlets, some plans or photos that would allow me to make the correct inlets?

Adam Poultney Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 There are two types of Vulcan intakes. Early narrow ones and wider ones. The narrow ones were on all B1s and early B2s up to and including XH556, wide intakes were on all B2s from XH557 onwards. I have decent drawings for the narrow ones, a scan kindly sent to me by another modeller. I need to find an original copy, they sometimes appear on eBay. The B2 intakes though, only drawings I have for a B2 don't look very accurate, I'd take the measurements with a handful of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cezarek Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 I know there were two types of inlets but I don't know their dimensions (diameter). Or I would need two similar photos showing the difference in the shape of the inlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cezarek Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 Unfortunately, the inlets require reconstruction.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cezarek Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Work on the front part of the fuselage. The ejection seats have arrived. I chose these because I thought they were the closest to those used in Vulcan. Of course, please express your opinions regarding their use in the model or making any necessary modifications.
