Lord Riot Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Offending drippage sanded and second coat of spray applied. I think it may even need a third coat yet, I'll see how it looks once dry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Final (hopefully!) coat of white sprayed. I think I'll need to rescribe some of the lines on the upper surface and nose. It should look better then, and once the tape is removed to show the black radome and fin tip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You've certainly done your homework with this! Looks like a good white coverage. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 As you are a Cheshire resident have you been to Woodford recently to see XM603 and have a look in the cockpit of the other one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Masking tape removed and a bit of touching up around the edges and canopy frames painted. I rescribed over the intakes and airbrakes too though that doesn't show in these photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockpit or full aircraft, surely not the MOSI AEW2 I spoke to a couple of guys at the museum a few weeks ago. Apparently it's the one at Bruntingthorpe, a full aircraft I think, she'll be displayed outdoors next to the museum car park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 I don't have the skill to cut out tiny windows in the nose and fit clear plastic, but I think as they're so small and dark then just black paint will probably suffice. Now she's had all night to dry I'm pleased with the overall colour and demarcation lines round the radome. She's not perfect, it's so hard to hide some joins with all over white, but in general it's starting to look ok I think. Looking at real Vulcans, there is actually a line along the nose anyway where the panels fitted together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Finally bit the bullet, got this at Woodford today. Hopefully it'll end up looking something like the real one behind, in anti-flash white. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Love the museum! I'm a member so I go quite a bit. I think the kit is certainly good enough to replicate 603, though I'm sure more skilled/fussy modellers than me would find all sorts of detailed things to change! At least the 301 series jetpipes would be correct (unlike for the kit's intended subject!), though I think you'll need to remove the TFR thimble and fill the hole where the probe would have been. Oh and the fintip ECM box. Other than that I reckon it'll look great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
