Project "40 degrees South" nearing Wideawake

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 :D 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........

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 ?
