Adam Poultney Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) It's been leaked!! It's happening!! I have a screenshot to prove it!! Airfix are releasing a new Vulcan I know this is real. Another member told me about it and I took this screenshot myself of the Airfix Telford livestream which is scheduled for 41 hours away. It shows the description.... Someone is in trouble at Airfix. @Mike hope this is ok to post Edited September 13, 2023 by Adam Poultney 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WV908 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 There's forward planning and then there's forward planning. Description has gone from the YouTube livestream but it was up long enough to make it clear. Hopefully Airfix will have more surprises later in the year that don't get leaked. Cheers, WV908 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, WV908 I personally won't be complaining about this leak 😂 I'm overjoyed! My bank account on the other hand..... That's not so happy with (future) me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 So what schemes are we hoping for? Probably unpopular opinion but I hope it's not just 558. Anything but just 558, we've seen her done so many times. I'd like a pure bomber in white, full shade roundels and one anti flash, a camouflage over grey with low Viz roundels, and a wrap around (XL426 ideally, not XM575 since I just did that one!)

SeventySecond Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Great news and in the right scale too. However I have no idea what happened to cause the leak, but I hope that it doesn't lead to someone losing their job over this as Airfix inferred. I would have happily waited another 41 hours to hear this if it meant people keep their jobs. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Simon told me in 2015 (when they announced the Victor) that a new Vulcan would follow. Just a question of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For £15, I wouldn't have minded, but I'm guessing this new tool will blow the old kit out of the water. I'm pretty stoked about this, and I usually stick to prop jobs.
