Mach82 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I have just completed this Airfix, scale, 1/72 Avro Vulcan Mk.B.2 for the "Made in Britain II" Group Build and decided to post the surplus completed photos in this RFI section. The build was mainly out of the box with the exception of a few extra after market goodies (A new set of jet pipes and air to air refuelling probe) and some decals provided by airdecal. I also did a little scratch building around the crew access hatch to enhance the looks of the rather clunky ladder area. It goes without saying there was the usual, filling, sanding and polishing expected with a kit of this era, but with a fine glass of wine, a good TV program in the back ground, it went by painlessly.... This particular kit is of Vulcan XH562, of 9 Sqn, RAF Waddington, 1978. Coming from Lincoln and having lived in a small village just outside Waddington I became fond of the Vulcan and loved every minute of this build. In fact a second one will be shortly underway.... XM575 of 44 Sqn (Wrap around camo scheme). I hope you enjoy the photos. WIP thread can be found here: Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to look. 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you mean "a case of fine wine and multiple box sets in the background..." ? Cracking build and finish there Mark. Thanks for posting. mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 A beautiful looking Vulcan. You can see some real effort went in to the build, especially with the intakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael51 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 What a great result on a kit that keeps haunting me. Two attempts, one survivor and one in the hoard that grins at me when I open the cupboard. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Always good to see a Vulcan. You've done an excellent job on her, a lovely paint job... very neat work. I've built two of these kits and nearly finished another, (XM575 coincidently), so I can appreciate the hard work that you've put into her. gazza l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristow95 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Fantastic build, the photos really show the huge amount of work and attention to detail. If only a new tool 1:72 Vulcan would emerge. Very good build. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Very impressive work. I built XH558 in flight last year and thoroughly enjoyed the build and learned lots from it. I don't know if I could tackle another so soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach82 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks for bringing this to my attention Adam 👍. I am sure this has something to do with the Photobucket nause. I will try to put a few photos of XH562 model on this post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
