by Ray Seppala on September 9, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This kit started life as an Italeri boxing of the AMT/Esci AC-130H. It is hard to believe I started it back in 2017 (well not that hard with my track record). The conversion involved: Plugging the 'AC' holes Lengthened the fuselage for [...]

Unexpected Progress Vulcan B1 Conversion

by Ian Foulkes on September 25, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

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. [...]

Well, here's the update today (so far!). The Subject of my conversion is Vulcan B1. I thought it was a B1a, but it seems 903 was a B1. Now the bombay I intended to use was the one from the kit. But it turns out that the Blue Steel rode [...]

by Ian Foulkes on September 24, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Well, I just couldn't resist it. Despite loads of Leopard projects piling up, when I decided to restore my other B1a, I just HAD to start another one. This particular one is going to be XA903. This was a B1a that was modified for Blue [...]
