Vulcan Bomb bay


Smiffy

Recommended Posts

I've planning to scratch a complete bomb bay for my Airfix Vulcan for a while now.

While I was up at Duxford for Legends on Sunday, I took the opportunity to snap a load of pics of their Vulcan and I thought I'd share 'em in case anyone else is planning to do the same. ;)

To help with orientation, the first pic is the view from the front of the bay looking back.

You're making it up, you weirdo! :mental:

I've got some shots of 558's bay & the one at Cosford. I'll dig them out & add to this posting, then shove it in a walkaround if you're agreeable Smiffster?

I had to scratch build mine. I did it quite a few years ago and I don't think I put as much detail in then as I would if I had done it now...

I also have quite a lot of pictures of the Vulcan bomb bay that I took when I was at the RAF museum in Hendon.

The Cosford one must be a later version as it has the Mk1 Plasma TV installed to entertain the Russians as they await delivery of the Ordnance ;)

Ooooh... it used to be an old-fashioned CRT television. Must be the later B.2 (W) model ;)

I'd typed the reply, then re-read it and realised what it sounded like. Sitting here laughing at it in a juvenile sort of way I couldn't help but post it......
