robvulcan Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 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 4
IPMS19 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Very spectacular, I wish this plane in injected in 48....... 1
viper108 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 love one in 1/48 but the wife would have something to say
robvulcan Posted August 19, 2012 Author Posted August 19, 2012 Very spectacular, I wish this plane in injected in 48....... thanks very much, you lost me a bit on the injected in 48, unless you mean a 1/48th kit. that be a big one if so. why not 1/24 hehehe Stunning set of vulcans, very impressed thanks matey there are another 8 or 10 lurking upstairs i cant stop building them its getting worring
Tornado Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 thanks matey there are another 8 or 10 lurking upstairs i cant stop building them its getting worring Really..! Wow I managed 2 and gave up, my skills didn't warrant me to buy any more, as there is quite a bit of work to get them right, but you wet my whistle, so to say...... Might give another a go
JMChladek Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Well, I guess after the first three Vulcans, you figure out all the foibles on it. So why not build a few more, right? Seeing that many Airfix Vulcans together is quite a feat. Wow! I like!
Plasticbutcher Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 What a lovely collection you've built up there,
robvulcan Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 love one in 1/48 but the wife would have something to say hopefully she would say wow a 1/48th vulcan you should build 2

robvulcan Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 Sod off......... Lol that doesn't help one single bit robvulcan... Now I have to get one...! after I receive my 2 1/200 vulcans I ordered today anyway... Cheers bud, you inspired me.. LOL you got me there my tummy actually jumped and i thought man ive upset him, glad i can inpire you that makes me feel happy. the dragon kit is lovely too ive built one and got 3 more to put together but i find they are actually tricky still cause of the small windows. but definatly worth the money. Impressive Vulcan force! Great job! thanks very much mate.
Tornado Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Ha ha ha, got ya, One of the things that put me off the airfix kit was the amount of work it needed to get it looking relatively good, but I have a little more patients now, can't wait to do the 1/200 scale, to go with the sqn of corgi vulcans I have
Bertie McBoatface Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) That's quite a collection. You are unique in my experience. Edited August 20, 2012 by per ardua ad ostentationem
j_jza80 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Fantastic collection! 'er in doors would have a fit if I had six of those!
Ossian Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Very nice! Agree about 48th, and IMHO it would be cool for someone to make a prototype vulcan (with the triangle delta wing) and an Avro 707 in the same scale (No doubt someone is going to pop up and say both exist already

Agree about 48th, and IMHO it would be cool for someone to make a prototype vulcan (with the triangle delta wing) and an Avro 707 in the same scale (No doubt someone is going to pop up and say both exist already To my knowlage, they did, from kits I have seen.. But I'm sure some Vulcan buff will tell you the ins and outs of when.....
madaboutmodels Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 LOOKS GOOD!! Next you need 612, i work on it. 1
Kev1n Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 awesome! I have just one vulcan - dont think I have room for anymore
Radleigh Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I have just the one too, awaiting till I move before I build my V bombers! Superb job though, looks great with the other 5... Oh to see 5 back in the air!
Alan P Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Wow, you clearly like Vulcans a lot more than gardening!! Al
robvulcan Posted October 13, 2012 Author Posted October 13, 2012 Wow, you clearly like Vulcans a lot more than gardening!! Al yes i do like them alot more than gardening lol, my parents garden we constantly battle with it and get it looking nice then some extreme weather comes wind and rain and destroys it. i swear it was a nuclear test site once as when we first moved in the grass was massively tall never seen anything like its. and ever since then its been war with the weeds. i love gardening in other peoples gardens like my nans were nature seems to work with you. but in our garden for ever weed you remove 50 more will come back in protest for you removing there friend. vulcans are better ! 1
