Adam Poultney Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) So this is my second completed Trumpeter Vulcan B2. I painted this to represent XL386 as she was in 1976. Decals are from all sorts of things out of my spares box, the roundels are Trumpeter and went on well, fin flash from gwh, serials and sqn markings from Fündekal.... I think..... The only modification I made was to improve the jetpipes to make them look closer to Olympus 301s, which this Vulcan was refitted with (the kit ones are very poor)- and the IFR probe was Alongside my other Trumpeter Vulcan, painted as XH558 as she was when delivered to the RAF. I've posted that one on here before. Edited July 10, 2020 by Adam Poultney 31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That's a great collection Adam I didn't even realise Trumpeter had a Vulcan in the range,I do now and want one,I would presume 1/144? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 What a great collection! And what a beautiful aircraft the old girl is. Still got my Trumpeter one in the box unbuilt. I need to pull my finger out 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim d Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Great set of Vulcans and you have done a really fine job on the camo, so difficult in this scale! And you have not just done it once......but multiple times......crazy man! Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the most accurate Vulcan in the scale, but got some odd choices in how they designed the kit. Firstly the jetpipes are awful, they neither look like Olympus 301s or 201s. Then they decided the pipes under the engines should be moulded to the ECM plates.... Unless you got spares from elsewhere or want to scratch build them (easy enough to do) then you're limited to 2 ECM plate vulcans... bunch of other odd things as well... 2 hours ago, binbrook87 said: What a great collection!

Then buy another... and another.... and another..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Very nice work, the camo is very neat; can't be easy in 1/144. Another beauty to add to your expanding collection. gazza l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
