Some scratch building in the bomb bay and undercarriage bays.

Undercarriage using the Flightpath Vulcan B2 Detail Set, also used the jet pipes and main undercarriage door interiors and the Airdecal anti-flash white set.

Thanks for the inspiration you guys provide.

A few additional pics that reveal the errors.

beautiful finish, well done indeed :speak_cool: I had this kit some years ago and finished it as XM607 but sadly I no longer have it, now with the Airfix Valiant tempting me and now seeing your Vulcan it is giving me the urge to go and build a V-Bomber force in anti-flash white! :goodjob:

Does look nice, a modelling comeback worthy of Lazarus :lol:

Wish mine had come out as good as that, will have to get another and have another crack...

Given your age away there though :P but who cares looks as if you enjoyed it, and I've enjoyed looking at the pics, thanks for posting :)

Thats beautiful, lovely paint job - did you re-scribe the panel lines?

Cheers

Simon

Thanks for the comment...yes, panel lines were re-scribed. Probably a little obvious on the finished model. Took a while!

looks great.

I have one vulcan - makes me want to go and start it...

Thanks for the kind observations.

Now that's impressive, especially so if it's your first one in so long!

I hope you're going to get the Valiant to keep it company, and maybe a Victor too?
