SeaVenom Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 From the photo's I've seen they look silver inside. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherry268 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) I would say white but depending on what camouflage any particular aircraft is wearing as to how far the exterior colour goes in. XH558's goes in quite far Best to check pictures of whatever Vulcan you are modelling Edited April 29, 2021 by cherry268 Afterthought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVenom Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Sorry forgot to say which one. I'm making Cyberhobby's 1982 Ascension Island version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVenom Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Some other things I'll add is the instructions don't say what colour/s and the only photo's I can see show that the front part of the intakes are part of the camouflage and the only others I can find show the deeper parts either with covers on or black and white or in shadow.

PhantomBigStu Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 all the v-bombers have white intakes with wrap around camo at the front for those that wear camo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hello, a question I can answer pretty confidently. This depended mostly on the scheme in question. Silver Vulcan B1s had entirely silver intakes. Anti flash Vulcans of all variants had entirely white intakes. Camouflage over white/grey vulcans had the front portion as a continuation of camouflage colours but the rest of the intake is white. Wrap around camouflage Vulcans have camouflaged intakes until the very back where I think it is white. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have very thoughtfully made the intake inserts follow the exact line along which the white should be painted. Paint the inserts white, but paint the intake lips moulded to the main upper part in camouflage. Camouflage colours should be Dark Green and Medium Sea Grey over a Dark Sea Grey underside. You'll also need to only use one ECM plate (the flat plate under the engines). None of the Black Buck Vulcans had them under the left wing, only the right one. There is an extra pitot tube on top of the nose that is entirely fictional, the slot for it should just be filled. And the nose gear should only have two wheels, not four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This Vulcan I built a few months ago shows where camo lines should be. Although the underside is white, the camouflage should follow the same pattern. It needs to slightly wrap under the leading edge of the wing and under the intakes. Also, this has one ECM plate like the Black Buck ones And then in the intakes 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planebuilder62 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hi there For XM607 for the Black Buck raids, where is the demarction line inside the intakes between the white and the camouflage? regards Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
