  1. Here's my finished entry to this the Australia and New Zealand GB. Unsurprisingly, it's a Vulcan. What else do I even build these days? Now it's not just any old Vulcan, that wouldn't have much of a link to NZ or Australia aside from quite a number of visits, this is XH562 which was the victim of a RNZAF practical joke in 1972. As recalled by Crew Chief Bill Pearsey: So here's my model, representing one aspect of the RNZAF's hospitality when it comes to hosting foreign guests. It's the 1:144 scale Great Wall Hobby Avro Vulcan B2, decals are from Printscale, Fündekal and some that I printed myself. Paints are a combination of Tamiya, Vallejo and Citadel. This is probably one of the least modified vulcan builds I've done. I only removed a few blisters, changed some of the ECM equipment and removed the RWR fairing from the tail. No trace remains of the X-Band Jammer that was previously on the tailcone. XH562 never had either version of this equipped. WIP thread here:
  2. Given the woes I've documented in my first ever work in progress thread, I feel compelled to demonstrate that occasionally I do complete some kits and they can even end up appearing adequate. So here's the Vulcan I did for my dad a few years ago. I originally bought this kit for my dad in the late 80s, back when Airfix kits came in boxes with a built model sitting on blueprints on the lid. When I was little my dad had made several model kits and they'd looked far better than my own childish attempts at modelling had achieved. I knew that the Vulcan was his favourite aircraft so I hoped that getting him the kit would get him modelling again. Sadly life (not least being a parent) prevented my dad from ever building the kit so it languished in my parents' loft until I came back to modelling as an adult a few years ago. I offered to build the kit for my dad in return for it taking up display space in their house rather than my flat. I originally indended to have the Vulcan ready for my dad's 70th birthday in March 2011, but in the end my slow pace of work and the amount of work involved (particularly with the intakes and the tail join) meant I only just got it to him in time for Christmas that year. He was still very happy with it though - obviously he hadn't been looking on this site to see what a properly skilful modeller may have achieved! Anyway, as described this is a 1980s-vintage boxing of the Airfix Vulcan, with decals taken from the box. They generally went on fairly well, except for one hook stencil that got lost and some cracking of the port roundel and tail flash, so not bad for decals over 20 years old. The Flightpath detail set was purchased mainly for the tail pipes, though a few of its PE details (such as the canopy framing) were used too. My dad wanted the model displayed in flight so a lot of the PE fret, including the undercarriage detail and the air brakes was not required. The main colours came from Humbrol rattlecans, with detail painting largely being done with Humbrol enamels. Unfortunately the colour balance of these photos seems a bit off, leaving the green parts of the camouflage in particular looking a bit more blue than they are in real life: There's also a few work in progress photos on flickr, showing the tailpipes being added and the camo pattern being masked.
  3. Hi there guys this is my entry for the vforce group build of the plane that im a proud member of. xm655 what a beast she is with her bigger 300 series engines and a joy to watch taxi such a shame she cant fly. here is my tribute to her made as if she could fly with 6 other vulcans. she was brush painted on the undersides and the camo. undersides hu166 and camo hu66 mixed with a dash of hu10 for a dark browny green. the medium sea grey is hu165 from a rattle can and has a nice blue hue to it that looks improved over there older tin offerings. the silver is revel aqua aluminium on the exausts and wonderfull stuff it is. many thanks for looking i hope you like her and look forward to comments good and bad. if you want to see her being built look in the group build section under vforce gb took me a week first model of the year and boy did i enjoy it. cheers rob Plus 5 other vulcans ,xh558, xh562, xh557, xm648, xl391
