Spitfire madman Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Hi all well well well what a couple of years I’ve had in regards to modelling after I finished the airfix 1:48 Gloster Javelin in October 2020 and the 1:200 raf Poseidon in January 21 i totally lost my modelling mojo no matter what I did I just didn’t feel it so I took 6 months away from the bench. fast forward to summer 21 and the release of the new Airfix Vulcan I knew had to have it so I purchased it straight from airfix and was determined to get myself back into it so as soon as it arrived I got stuck in. I also had on my shelf of doom the trumpeter 1:144 Vulcan so decided to get that finished at same time. I throughly enjoyed the build of the airfix Vulcan from start to finish the trumpeter Vulcan was ok. I used top notch camo masks on both kits and used Tamiya and mr hobby paints throughout. The trumpeter Vulcan I finished as XH558 using the kit decals the Airfix Vulcan I finished in the markings of XH562 using aftermarket decals from xtradecal both models were completed in February 22 Thank you and Enjoy Edited October 5, 2022 by Spitfire madman Edit od description 45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuraiwarrior Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Hi, That really inspires me. I have the Trumpy Vulcan on the build pile at the moment. I can see what can be achieved. The Airfix is one also very nice. They both look terrific, and are nicely presented. They are both models to be proud of. Thanks for sharing.

binbrook87 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Wow! That Trumpeter Vulcan has scrubbed up well. Hard to tell which is which at first glance. Great results on both though, and the camo work is absolutely spot on 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 A great model of a great plane. Well done! When I was a kid, a flight of Vulcans flew low level across the small village where I grew up - the house shook! That image has stayed with me ever since! Last saturday I was at a hobby show where one of the vendors had the new Airfix kit of the Vulcan. I looked at it, and thought to myself, that I would get back to it. But - alas - when I returned a fesw minutes later it was gone! The lesson to take home - when you se it - buy it! Cheers Hans J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith in the uk Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Vulcans dont come any better than this pair , both fantastic models 10/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Both look great! Particularly love XH562. Looks generally quite accurate (minor error not replacing Red Steer Mk1 fairing with Mk2 but I doubt anyone would notice), well built and convincingly painted. The Trumpeter kit, which I have built a few of myself, isn't the most accurate Vulcan around and the options aren't great. Your build looks very good, again well built and the paintwork is convincing, but it's limited by the poor research that went into the kit on Trumpeter's part. Great work on it anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
