That's great, cheers. Amazing model by the way.

I know this is a few years old, but I'm going to give it a shot. What colour did you use on the body? @RedBarron

Just a heads up to anyone in the East of Kent that the Hornby visitor centre has the Vulcan to the sky 1/72 kit in the bargain area for £12.99. There was about 4/5 left when i left. If you use your Airfix club card you will get an extra 20% off. They also had a few 1/24 Spitfires, hurricanes and i think P51s reduced to 30 odd quid plus HMS Illustrious 1/350 for £29.99 Just thought someone might be interested Oh and just remembered, 1/72 TSR-2/ Stratos4 for the same price as the Vulcan or £10.41 with Club discount Bargain

Ive been wondering the same thing. Airfix do it and i don't know why. Is it copyright?

I use THIS great light source and now a bleeding good price. The magnifying is OK but you have to find the sweet spot.

Hi received my Lightning print and wow its great. Got number 12/200 from my Girlfriend. Just need a good frame Kevin

Ive been having a look and i can only find German suppliers from their facebook page. This is a German RC Car website who sell it. Just found some on EBAY but its sold out worth keeping an eye out for restock. Edit again, just found some more on Ebay but not sure if they will ship to the UK.

Well after alot of faffing around i found a great iphone App (Via Britmodeller) called iModelkit. Its managed to calculate using Vallejo Model Air that i need 20 parts 046 Pale Grey Blue 6 parts 057 Black 3 parts 001 White The on screen comparison looks spot on so will try it out myself when i get hold of some Pale Grey Blue and let everyone know using WEM's Colourcoats as comparison

Thank John, PM inbound

I used cellulose thiners. Dirt cheap from Wilkinsons

Hi John, Would it be possible to get a copy myself. I've been looking on the net and only found a few things. Sorry to be rude but it would really help me out Thanks Kevin

Dymo tape all the way with a 6" metal ruler. Went to Staples and blindly bought some dymo tape but was the new Laser printing stuff GRRRR. Found some embossing dymo tape on Ebay, 2 rolls for about £4 with postage.

Cheers for that. Might give it another try on some scrap card to see if it works this time. If not its going to be vallejo black and Klear for me again.

Cheers Will but couldn't find much about it. Found out that Vallejo have a Acrylic Polyurethane primer that is supposed to be a filler so will try that.

What did you use as your black gloss? I have Alclad black gloss but it never dries and i think it is, well, rubbish.

I just use IPA but i think most people use good old washing up liquid and warm water.

I have the same problem as you Peter. Has anybody got this to work? I know its not important and its only a few extra pictures BUT i want to see them Anyway the book is a mine of information and its ruined one of my favourite conspiracys Grr

Well I've got Mr Surfacer 500/1000 spray cans and Alclad black, white, gray and honey. All very good and great to use BUT i need an Acrylic version for use indoors. Does anyone know if one exists that are as good as these? Thanks Turvey

Can anyone recommend a good contour gauge as the one i got from Wilkinson's has fallen apart after the last few uses.

Two weeks after the Valiant was released they still didnt have that in stock. I go to the visitor a few times a month to buy the odd model as you get 20% discount. I normaly head straight to the SALE section and get some good bargains.

Ive got the Vulcan to do within the next couple of months. Do you remove the panel lines then scribe or do you scribe the lines using the excisting raised ones as an guide then remove the raised ones? Hope this makes sense! Cheers turv

Have a look at this thread and contact the company. It seems to me they can pretty much help you out. Hope your lucky and then let us know how you get on, so i can get one

I use Holts Cataloy knifing putty from Halfords. Great stuff and sands lovely.

Thankyou Phil will have a look at that.

Well after a bit of research i have found that Humbrol 127 is a very close match. Anybody got any ideas as to how i can try to get as good as match as possible or is it a case of staying with Humbrol 127?
