Adam Poultney Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Today I was at the North East Aircraft Museum, where Avro Vulcan XL319 is, interesting for reference pictures as you can get very close to it, some of panels are loose, and of course the tail is in a bad state after it tipped up in snow in 2010- you can see some of the internal structure. One of the staff there said that Airfix called them a few weeks ago because they wanted to come and get scans of the Vulcan... surprised they want to go for XL319 rather than an airframe in better condition, such as XH558 or XM655, unless they are scanning multiple. New kit being worked on confirmed? (Airfix if you're reading this, I'd like to pre order 5 😂) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoran Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) I was told (by someone in a position to know) that Airfix had it on their list about 18 months ago, and I got called names for saying so.

Antti_K Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Let's hope they really do it. A new Vulcan with complete cockpit and bomb bay interior would be great. Now where's my credit card.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Bet they will and it will be 1:144... ;-) after Great Wall and now Trumpyboss no chances are good it will be 1:72 - after I rescribed my kit and got all the aftermarket stuff together, if not anything else.

Mikey-1980 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 A 1/72 scale would be nice, and with the panel lines scribbed correctly. Though I have just purchase the previous kit at quite a substantially cheaper price than retail. I would suspect that any launch for this would be Q4 2019? at least?

If they are just now doing LIDAR scans, I would bet more like Q4 2020 at the very earliest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hopefully they'll include jetpipe options for 201s and 301s this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredag Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Just having a bit of fun, but if you imagine Trumpeter copying the WnW Lancaster, it'd probably more closely resemble a Vulcan! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
