Got you Rib 27 ish going outboard . Not teaching you or anyone else to suck eggs .. The BOAC/BA/RAF K2 Standard 's generators are inboard of Rib 22 . RAF C.Mk1 / C.1K don't have any Wing VGs.

Turbofan Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hi David, Just a heads up, you don't get any vortex generators on the Authentic Airliners standard VC10 kit. Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the big "Mama Mia" sized fence (inboard), and then there's the two little fences located on the leading edge slats. The photo below illustrates where i'm at right now... -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Blimey David , you're on VC10 Fan club and appreciation groups . That inboard fence is in a different position on the Super and RAF C.Mk1 / C.1K , K3 and K4 to the Standards , RAF K2 . Supers is 3 inches ish further outboard than the Standards' Cheers Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzn20 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Yes ,cowlings and stubwings are a work of art . Very well done Don't suppose it means much but those oil drains on the underneath are Stardard VC10 only < BUA,BOAC/BA, Sultan's . Super and RAF C.Mk1s was just flush holes . Go down to Duxford's Super SGC , Above that is BA Standard RVM Take no notice of the painted Beaver Tails ,they're not painted and the original early shape. For some reason only SGB and SGC kept that shape Vickers VC-10 - Jet & Rocket engined Aircraft - Britmodeller.com Edited May 13, 2022 by bzn20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason only SGB and SGC kept that shape Vickers VC-10 - Jet & Rocket engined Aircraft - Britmodeller.com I was working mainly from an air to air photo of -ASGD on pages 48-49 of the Key publishing magazine. The undersides of the fairings between the tailpipes were painted grey and i just did bare metal around the edges. Photos taken from the rear looking at the tops of the nacelles were hard to find. I thought about filing down the tips of the fairings, but the one and only photo i had of ASGH taking off looked sort of like the pointed variety was retained. This photo provided a lot of help with things like the cabin outflow valves, what i think are water drain holes, fridge pack outlets, and what i believe to be fuel vents in the wings. Whats still an unknown are the black circles spread along the wing leading edge, behind the slat lower edges but i think in front of the wing front spar. For my next trick, i'll finish applying the cabin window decals. -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel tank vents are just before the wing tips both sides . Right Vent is for the left wing and Centre Tank, left Vent for right wing . Fin tank has it's own Vent top of the fin left side I can stick a bunch of pics on your FB messenger if you want Edited May 13, 2022 by bzn20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complicating the issue is there are a lot of panel lines in that region that Roden ignored... -d- Edited May 13, 2022 by David H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
