IXGR1 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 OK, for those of you that don't know. I finnished reading the book "Vulcan 607" a few months ago, the story of the first Black Buck raid of the Falklands War. I was so inspired I am invisioning an airborne diorama of the 2nd last refueling bracket. On finishing the book I went out the next day and bought my first 1/72 kit in some thirty years - the Revell HP Victor. I have since been sourcing a 1/72 Avro Vulcan, one deal has fallen through (post payment :x ) . I have gained some XM607 decals from a local friend, and a "Dash-10" ecm pod from a fellow i-modeler (thanks David). Today I received my XH558 boxed Vulcan from Jumblies Models (hence this post ). I am now just waiting on my 2nd Victor to arrive from New Mexico (USA) next week (third Evil-bay auction), and then I have pre-assembly at Wideawake Airfield (my man cave) just sharing, as I am starting to love this project........

IXGR1 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 thanks for your reinforcement of the project guys. 2nd. Victor arrived today.........

IXGR1 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Assembly at Wideawake airfield, Assention. The two (one plastic one white metal - yes, I know only one was fitted) "Dash-10's" are on the Vulcan's box in the red area. Now I've got to find a quiet place to build them en-mass ! Q - I have been trying to justify having the loaded Bombay visible.... removable doors may be a bit impractaible ? or, how would a transparent section look ? -Are there any comments of the WEM Bombay set for the kit ?
