Finished Typhoon 1/24
Got it done. Really nice kit. Decals haven't quite settled yet in these pics. Decals were actually very stubborn. Aftermarket rockets were the only extra.
Not much in the way of stencils. Can't say I was sorry but no "don't [...]
Unexpected Progress Vulcan B1 Conversion
Well, sometime things just seem to fall together! I thought that I had done my lot for today working out how to sort out the bombay/Blue Steel issue, when a little tinkering and the next thing you know, four happy hours have gone past. [...]
Avro Vulcan B1 conversion 25/09/21 update

The fuselage was significantly warped and the wings were squint. Filler and clamps were [...]

Score!!
Found these two on the web, at a reasonable price. I have noticed of late that prices have gotten way out of hand. I bagged these with shipping for around 20 dollars US each. Some listings , for the TBD goes for three times as much or more.
