Deanflyer Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Right then, it's been a while hasn't it? I'm still kicking though, and this is the results of the last twelve hours modelling time I've been able to grab over the past few months: It's the CyberHobby 1/200th scale kit, so it's not very big actually: Mind you, it's still a lot bigger than the Vulcan I did in the same scale: Makes you realise how big the real thing must have been, eh? The build report should be appearing in Spence's Cold War Modeller Magazine if he decides he likes it enough... Onwards and upwards, Dean Edited June 10, 2013 by Deanflyer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Upon first reading your thread & looking at the photos I thought, 'Wow, you did a cracking job with the AMT/Italeri kit, that must have been the reason why we ain't seen you around for a while.' I guess by the fact you took 12 hours to produce such a lovely example the kit went together well? Also testament to your talents I never realised it was in 200th scale rather than 72nd.

rmcclure Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Imagine being the first test pilot walking out to that machine for the first time. Just awesome. Great build and thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrritableRabbit Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 That I think deserves a 'woot!' I'm sure if I had any energy left today, I would say something far more constructive.. But I do like that, and looks bigger than 1/200 for sure. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanflyer Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks for the comments folks, nice to see that some of you thought it was larger than it actually is - that's what I was aiming for in the photos! Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Fox Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Cracking build and awesome aircraft, theres something about that shape, that size and that power. Goose bumps every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirfixAndy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Cracking build Dean . Thats a lot more shelf friendly than the Italeri kit . I think thats the first time Ive ever seen a scale comparison with the Vulcan....Wow.....not often you think of the Vulcan being called Tiny Tin Triangle . That is a monster........and Ive got one in the stash......you listening Tango Fox Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mekon Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Cracking build and finish. Really don't appreciate how big this was until you one parked next to the old tin triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haroldk Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Nice work Dean, this will be easier on shelf space than my 1/72 scale Valkyrie:)...which I have yet to build. Harold Edited June 18, 2013 by haroldk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum fan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 That looks fantastic! I've always been a fan of the XB-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Wow! I knew it was big, but next to the Vulcan it looks massive...............lovely piece of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 This is one of those aircraft that most people should have heard of, size speed appearance etc, yet remains remains a bit of a mystery. To give you an appreciation of the size see attached clip from YouTube; http://m.youtube.com/?reload=3&rdm=mokcsg152#/watch?v=psUvAUw37D8 So thanks Dean for reminding us what a beautiful aircraft it was and for those of us with this in 1/72 in the stash the question remains where the hell do I keep it when I build it ?
