by Chris Champagne on January 27, 2025 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Hi all. Been lurking for quite a while, enjoying all the builds and stories. Been intimidated by the quality, but have decided to post some of my builds. I categorize my builds by series - series one thru three. Series one, which I [...]

White giants, easy build? Airfix 1/72 Victor & Vulcan

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Homogeneously painted models bring a promise of an easy build. Yet, overall white paint cover is a wolf in a sheep skin. Not only that the model requires repeated coating to cover the darker colored plastic, but also extra care to [...]

The Avro Vulcan was a quad engined delta wing tail-less jet nuclear bomber designed for the RAF. It was part of the trio of bombers that made up the UK's V-Force (V for Vengeance) as part of the UK's nuclear strike force. The Vulcan [...]

Airfix Avro Vulcan, 1/72nd scale, XM607, Falklands conflict

by Stephen Young on July 26, 2023 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Inspired by reading Rowland White's book "Vulcan 607" recounting the history of the "Black Buck" missions during the Falklands conflict, this is the 1983 vintage MPC kit No. 1-4552 issue of the Airfix Avro Vulcan The [...]

Airfix 1/72 Vulcan B.2

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

The new tool Airfix Vulcan is superior in every respect (unfortunately, also for the price) to the original issue dated back in 1983. The build is straight forward. However, the massive model size poses challenges along the build. Your [...]

Avro Vulcan BMk2 (Airfix 1/72nd new tool)

by Thomas Probert on July 24, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Afternoon all, Here's the latest model to take off from my bench - the new-tool Airfix 1/72nd Avro Vulcan BMk2. After grafting on some very long-term projects of late I decided I needed something relatively straightforward for a system [...]

Restoration Project, Avro Vulcan B1a

by Ian Foulkes on September 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Well, the danger of moving boxes etc in the man cave, you occasionally come across a project you had tucked away in a "safe place" and then forgotten about. This is the Airfix 1/72 Avro Vulcan B2, converted back to a B1a. I used [...]

Avro Vulcan 1/72

by Jonathan Zwierko on June 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This has to be one of my finest models and I never expected it to be. It is an Airfix kit and had its fair share of problem, but now looks great and is a great addition to my room. I decided to sharpie over the cockpit instead of keeping [...]

It’s Not Spock

by Scott Nelson on January 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Inspired by the new-tool Airfix Vulcan, which I immediately put on pre-order the day that was possible, I pulled the GWH 1/144 Vulcan K. 2 out of the stash as my last build of 2019. On the whole it’s a nice kit for 1/144 scale. The [...]

Avro Vulcan B2 1/144 (GWH+Shelf Oddity)

by Marek Targowicz on May 9, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is my rendition of the early Vulcan B2 XH556 depicted as in No.230 OCU Finningley, ca 1962. The Pit-Road/GWH kit and excellent Fundekals decal set inspired me to tackle the Vulcan subject. To portray the early B2 airframe the kit had [...]
