Adam Poultney Posted November 7, 2019 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

WV908 Posted November 7, 2019 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
The_Lancaster Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Beat me to it! Looking forward to this so much! Got decals for XL361 in 617sqn anti-flash white that I can finally use! Edited November 7, 2019 by The_Lancaster 3

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

Adam Poultney Posted November 7, 2019 Author 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 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
PhantomBigStu Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Ruined the surprise for saturday, thought it was going to be the herc, that preorder bluff got me

Ratch Posted November 7, 2019 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.

fightersweep Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Crikey! And there was me just considering buying the old tool Vulcan. This is great news. I hope they knock enough out in the first batch. It's going to be a hot potato! Steve

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. Steve
