yep thats the way to go.

Hears a look at the paintwork, tell me whats wrong???? https://flic.kr/p/GKKwts

I did manage to get it looking ok but the next morning it had reverted back to where it was ,not going to chance removing it ,the more i mess with it the more pieces i will have.For what its worth it getting susspended from the cieling at an angle so it wont be noticed.aa,and if your looking that close at it you shouldnt be in my room..

Hi im looking for vulcan colors Green and medium sea grey in aerosols.I have tried the humbrol and found it ok but theres not a lot in the can.Is the a can i can buy from car accessory shops. and if so what colors/codes.

Well the weather hasnt been good and iv been stuck in being unwell so not much done this week.I had hoped to have paint on by today but only managed a few coats of undercoat and more sanding.i felt a bit better today so i sat and masked the vulcan.im still going for camo all over but unsure as to what color i should paint the missile(bomb bay doors a disaster so went with the missile) On masking up found a few more spots that will need sanding on the grey but im not going to tear off the tape and blue tack.iv found the blue tack to be hard even though i warmed it on the radiator so im going for play dou next time.Went to take a few photos but the batterys ran out and i cant chase them(huh)no i cant manage the stairs by myself so only one photo . sorry photobucket is still not letting me share the way iv read. Its only giving me two options and the forum wont allow these options.So its another fickr https://www.flickr.com/gp/91786914@N08/935U2p

Ok ,i knew it was going to happen so i left it on its bit of spuce until today.YES youve guest it ,it snapped in half.Iv made one attempt at glueing it together without success.Im lookin for any info on making a replacment probe ,any one of you gents would like to help???. Cheers skiny

All good information guys so thanks.im not to bothered about authenticity ,but its the types of aircraft i want.Is there some where to sauce 111 squadron decals as thats the way i would like to go.

Iv just read this post and after looking in daylight your correct,any advice to give on how to straighten it.I thought hair dryer for a few minutes then bend as needed. update as well. had to rip out the bomb bay door as it kept sinking and filler just wouldent hold it in place ,so iv used the missile covering and will fill in.(i hope)

TWO questions 1/This might sound silly but where would or could i be able to buy separate aircraft markings . Question two im thinking of making some british fighters up in the same Camouflage scheme, (Same as the vulcan. Which brings me back to markings, all the fighters i want to do with 111 squadron markings,would this be a good idea,

thanks for the help medium sea gray ordered.

As said in the post almost ready for paint.Im sure i read the colors were green and light sea gray but some say medium sea gray .dont forget its XH558 as she is painted today.

Model may have not aged much but i certainly have.

Hi folks almost painting time for my 1/72 vulcan,when i first started this i read somewhere the color scheme was dark green and LIGHT SEA GRAY.looking through some of the builds and some are saying MEDIUM SEA GRAY.Now im confused :hmmm:im making XH558 as she is today,Is this LIGHT SEA GRAY or MEDIUM SEA GRAY. THanks guys.

Started the build of my 1/72 Vulcan bomber last Satarday and i have to be honest it didnt go as badly as i thought.From the threads i read on britmodelers i thought nothing is going to fit,But apart from under the tail section all went fairly simple . A few moments reared there ugly head during the wings to body part of the build with only some small gaps in the wings .the intakes i was dreading as so much had been said that they were a bad fit ,dry fitted them and they went together ok ,as my mind played tricks on me i thought i had done something wrong but hey ho striaght in .A bit of tinkering and sanding seen the rear section go together but needed a fair amount of filler to get it into place and looking half decent. Iv decide to go for the smooth look as its going to go from the ceiling so ditched the wheels and access ladders.Cant understand why the model came with the missile and wing racks as i can remember XH558 ever being fitted with these(someone will put me right no doubt) So its just about ready to paint more than likely going to find loads of scratch marks and so on ,so its off to the car repair shop for some wet n dry paper and some stopper.Painting will be by rattle cans as the medication i take leaves me shaking like a freezing camel. https://www.flickr.com/gp/91786914@N08/dN7b4i https://www.flickr.com/gp/91786914@N08/Ke782p https://www.flickr.com/gp/91786914@N08/88kR49 https://www.flickr.com/gp/91786914@N08/6c2Ejc https://www.flickr.com/gp/91786914@N08/i248W6 40 plus years since i have made a model and the models themselves havent changed really,except im a lot older and have to concentrate a lot harder.I,ll post the finished result next week hopefully if it all goes ok. OF ALL THE THINGS IN LIFE IV LOST ,ONLY MY MIND NEEDS TO BE FOUND.

I cant seem to find a small enough piano hinge.and my 1st idea was to make my own.Any ideas were i could get a drawing /sketch of this????.

Hi great photos in your flikr account BTW.Question image 008 show the bomb bay doors open ,do these open and close????And if so are they on a hinge of some sort????

Thanks for the reply after spending another day looking for information all iv found is how to make doors either open(with massive amounts of detail) or just closed ..All im looking for is a simple way to open them on a small lever type hinge.Then close them.

1st model for 40 plus years.iv looked on a lot of modeling site and cant find the information im looking for so im hopeing one of the genious on here can help. Id like to display my vulcan in the air(on stings and out of the way of the grand kids) but would like to be able to open and close the bomb bay doors and show off the details inside. Im certain i can reconstruct the internals of the bomb bay but the doors have me a bit UNHINGED .would anyone have an inkling of how to achieve this?????.
