goon Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Hi All, Here are some shots of a model I finished a while ago. It's Great Wall Hobby's 1/144 Vulcan, shown after it's emergency diversion to Rio at the end of Black Buck 6. I'm sure you'll be aware that the Black Buck missions were flown against Argentinian forces occupying Port Stanley in 1982. The recovery to Rio was an outstanding piece of airmanship, that you can read about HERE. It's posed on a simple base, with Preiser 1/144 NATO figures to represent the crew. There's a full build log in the 'Completed Models' page of my blog - www.latibuliser.com Thanks for looking in, Gareth Edited February 14, 2020 by goon 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 It seems Vulcans are in fashion right now. My 1/200, one in the Kuta XII GB, robvulcan building the trumpeter kit and now this awesome build. This is very impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A very convincing build and those li'l guys make all the difference adding life, and a size reference. Sweet work! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerboy Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Wow! Impressive model, the figures even more so, they must be tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmas Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 That’s very nice! The figures especially set the scene really well. There certainly is a spate of Vulcans on the go here at the moment, it’s great for those of us who love the old girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Fantastic job on those wee figures. You'd think it was 1/72 with them alongside the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
