Radleigh Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks guys for your appreciation, it is much appreciated, I think my next model will have to be the VC10, as I have the old Airways Vacform kit, I was thinking of making a military version, but keeping everything that is at Brooklands museum, will probably be the VC10 they have their, but in the original scheme BUA Just realised though my photos are a bit grainy as I have noticed I took them with a high ISO, but to late to change and also I think gives it a aged look, anyway thats my excuse Thanks for looking Kev Just looked at it again Kev and I can't wait to see the VC-10 progress.... hopefully there will be a thread? I saw you mention the C-141 Starlifter too somewhere, maybe that can come out to play one day.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 This is fantastic. I remember these screeching in-and-out of Liverpool Airport (when we used to call it Speke Airport), when I was (considerably) younger. Wonderful model. Well done sir.

A30_737_AEW&C Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Kev, Not a regular here, but became aware of your excellent work on the Vanguard just today. You are incredibly skilful and resourceful and you've brought your talents together remarkably to create such a fine model. Congratulations ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'll say it again................ This is the best kit I've seen on BM, the best,well done,very well done.Love the Neoprene radome effect,the Y beam scribing (cant have been easy) the Tyne cowling detail,the windows,airstairs,I really love the whole thing. Why has one side got vortex generators inbd of No 2 engine but not inbd of No. 3 ? Top detailing, first class full stop and happy New Year Kev! If thats all you did in 2014 it was enough!! Thanks again for everyones kind words, sorry I can't thank everyone individually. bzn20, I think the vortex generators were done that way, because of the effect the props caused through buffeting and only found on the port side, but I am sure there is someone who knows more about this stuff than me Radleigh, I will be doing a thread on the VC10 but need to get loads of info and photos from Brooklands plus scale up some plans I have to 1/72, would like to do the military version, but will probably either be Caledonian/BUA or just the BUA VC10 Cheers Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1978 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Missed it first time round. Thats just an awe-inspiring build and probably the best looking Vanguard I've seen yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Exceptional, and that is why I will not be building one! ( To big for my shelf as well )! Â Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 One of those magnificent builds most of us can only dream of achieving. You are a master modeler supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Oh wow! It made it back on top of RFI section again. I admired this masterpiece 5,5 years ago and it is one of the models I still remember very well. Incredible work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) This model actually got me to join Brit. I bought the kit and a C-133 from Gene Hooker himself and went looking for reference on it. It's still not built because I had no home for it. Hopefully in the next couple of years I'll have display cases for the bigger planes, that's my plan. I want to use this info as reference for it. Still haven't decided on AC or TCA.
