BadKarma75 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 After far too long it’s time for my first official WIP, Lola doesn’t count as I only posted her after all the naughty language had faded. As I’ve not dipped into the stash for a couple of years I thought I’d get back into the saddle with a nice easy fits like a glove build 😂 The inspiration for this build apart from being an iconic plane is basically a mate of my dads gave me a fully built Vulcan when I was a nipper which had pride of place on the shelf for many years until lost to a slightly irate sister. so here we go with the always popular Airfix Vulcan. the Intention is to approximate airframe XL391 which from googling about had the same paint job as the aforementioned model and by happy coincidence was assigned to 9 squadron which also counted a previous build Lonesome Lola among their lancs Any vulcanologists (or anyone else) feel free to shout when I stray off course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKarma75 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 The obligatory shot of air intakes caked with filler and the tickling sticks made for the hard to reach places And whilst waiting for the PE from David Parkins to arrive I shall be trying something new to me Rescribing panel lines! it could be a triumph or more likely a well that didn’t go as planned 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKarma75 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just a quick update on the glacial progress, all the bits have arrived along with a useful reference book And a pic of first attempt at scribing which apart from a couple of slight slips has started well I feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
