Avro Vulcan B.1
Avro Vulcan B.1
A conversion of the 1/72 Airfix 09002 kit using the Flightpath resin, white metal and etch. I decided to compile the markings of XA897 at 230 Operational Conversion Unit circa 1956 at RAF Waddington.

That's a beauty. Not a common conversion too.
All the best.

Great to see that conversion done. Lovely and so different from the B2.

Re: Avro Vulcan B.1
Fantastic work. Love the tonal variation in the colour scheme

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Re: Avro Vulcan B.1
Very nicely done Ratch, that is an impressive beastie and the open air brakes and crew entry hatch give it a great candid appearance.

A very nice build complimented by the weathering. Great work.
