AVRO VULCAN - 1/72 Airfix kit review

[@guaporeturns9472]

So Shrike missiles we we used in Operation Blackbuck? I guess I need to read up on it

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Apparently so...well according to Airfix and Wikipedia at least. Although one of my modules was pn the Falkland's war, the Blackbuck Raids didn't feature much.

Collectors edition with both bomber and refuel plane?

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Given that I want to add another K2 Victor to my collection I would be very happy if they did that!

[@christiananderson478]

Already got one on order!

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Seems to have been quite the controversial issue with the pylon mistake. I'm sure we'll see a few of this taking shape soon 😃

Is the straight edge on the tail something I’ve missed in the kit? I’m mid build and only have a sleek top to the tail.

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Sounds like it. If you're following the instructions for the original boxing then it's an unused part so won't be listed. If you have a look at 5:03 in this video, you can see it at the bottom of the sprue under the rudder and next to the sleek one. 👍

@@The_Male_Modeller thanks mate I appreciate it, found it and replaced it 👍🏻

Interior is a total waste of time because my aircraft hang from the ceiling, i think i'll get this one too

[@The_Male_Modeller]

I'm very much in the "if you can't see it, don't do it" camp. Life's too short. That said, I've seen some fantastic interior builds on Instagram

[@malcolmmacdougall]

@@The_Male_Modeller i'd only do an interior on a diorama with the cockpit window open and the engine exposed...........BF109 or similar, but i've always had aircraft hanging from the ceiling; it's a childhood memory recall thingy.
