wavodavo Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 1/144 GWH Vulcan XA894 TSR-2 engine test bed. Converted B2 kit to B1 using methods from Britmodeller. Tailcone was scratch built and then casted a mold to make in resin. Undercarriage modified - I think the stance maybe a bit too high at the front and the engine a bit low to the ground but I love it. I also did one of the undercarriage doors white at it had been changed at some point. The 22R was made from styrene tubes and an old Revell B-58 engine (unknown scale). Thanks to @Adam Poultney for supply some of the decals to make it look a bit better.

binbrook87 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Super job on a really unusual subject. Great scratch building skills on the engine. (And is that also a teeny lightning hiding in the background? 😁) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmm Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Brilliant job. Dead impressive conversion. My father in law remembers seeing this one flying in and out of RAE Thurleigh / Bedford. You’ve done a very nice job on the engine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
