The classic Airfix 09002 1:72 kit. Let's hope a retool is in the pipeline :twisted:

Another great Vulcan Ratch - the classic combination of the great V-Bomber and the ill-fated Blue Steel missile.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Nice one!

I wonder if we will see a re-tool; the Valiant and Victor releases would suggest so but who knows....
Best wishes

I spoke with Airfix when the Victor was announced and they said (regarding a Vulcan) its a question of when, not if. It will, of course, come down to funding for a new tool :roll:

Not normally a fan of aircraft with holes in the back but you have done a tremendous job on tis one. I'll bet it is big too! The colours look very convincing.
