keithjs Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just picked up one of these and a Fundekals sheet is enroute. Not being a Vulcan aficionado can someone enlighten me to the differences between the engines please? Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 200 series engines are longer and slightly cone shaped and stick out from the trailing edge, where as the 300 series are shorter and only slightly beyond the t/e This pic shows the series 200 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan_XH558#/media/File%3AXH558_Planform.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jetpipes are too long and lack the wing fillets for 300s, but they're not tapered or narrow enough for 200s, seem to be hybrids! 200 pipes 300s Edited February 14, 2020 by 71chally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Mmm, despite the box art I'm somewhat disappointed you can't build it with a 'normal' bomb bay? Blue Steel only or closed.... Am I also right in thinking that you can't fit a Blue Steel on Vulcans with the type of tailfin antenna/radar this kit has got?

But hey if it looks good, we never had one in that scale if i am correct.. And in that way i can keep my Airfix one ... Cheers, Jan In the catalogue, if you scroll through it, it's 1/144.

I think it does include a normal one, the first WIP is up and includes sprue shots showing one. Some Blue Steel Vulcans certainly had TFR blisters on the nose when camouflaged, but I don't know of any with the RWR fairing on the tailfin. Both must be removed for a white aircraft.

No, there's no bomb bay as such just a strange shaped blanking plate.. The box art shows an open 'normal' bomb bay. Whats the point of putting a Blue Steel in the kit if neither of the aircraft depicted used them? Unless of course there going to be another release with a 'normal' bomb bay? I'd also be interested to know when Vulcans stopped using Blue Steel and the RWR fairing was fitted tho'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
