Hi peter Great work as always . Noticed on lsp and now here discussion on toughening up foam. I build Rc planes and used to use Epoxy with foam . I recently tried some of deluxe materials products and been impressed foam armour and eze coat. The company is very helpful and worth chatting to https://deluxematerials.co.uk/collections/r-c-modelling/products/foam-armour

This talk of the airfix vulcan makes me feel old...... I can remember riding my raleigh burner up to model toys in Kingston Road, Pompey to with hard saved money to buy one of the first Ken had in stock. It was a revelation compared to the airfix or lindberg one and it had blue steel as well.... i guess time moves on... but back then it seemed awesome.

given the subject matter perhaps player's navy cuts might be an appropriate ad ?

Yes the dreaded six engine approach !! It is unlikely they replace each pair with a single turbofan. Apparently the testing required to certify all the stores due to the changes in airflow from new engines will be seriously large and a long process. So more likely it will be eight engines that can be accommodated in the existing engine pods

A few more for your comments - some frankly are a bit iffy but thought might be useful as a reference
