I've sent a lot of shots of it, as XM715 is otherwise known as Teasin Tina, at Dunsfold.
Brunty, not Dunsfold. Anyway, I'll leave you to it. Enjoy the build.

Just ordered the Olympus 201 exhausts for the Vulcan.

Might have to start the Valiant.....It's probably feeling left out!

Bloody hell, you are getting as bad as me saying one thing but meaning something quite different. Bruntingthorpe v Dunsfold hmmm very similar indeed so welcome to the mentally deranged club.

Cheers.....It's been a long time coming.... I think..... :blink:


Although, building a Vulcan and Victor (1983 Airfix and 1984 Matchbox) simultaneously, I'm surprised the men in white coats haven't been banging my door down!!

Last night I got some bits stuck together!!

Glued the wings to the fuselage halves. This method allows you to line up the joints and negates the need for filler almost entirely (but not completely....it is a 32 year old kit!)

Then I added the Blue Steel bay, which was reinforced to help alignment.

And, as you can see, the undercarriage doors.

The Victor has had it's bomb bay and HDU removed, ready for the resin replacement bomb doors

And then the fuselage was closed up

Looking good. Don't forget to move the RAT exhausts closer to the fin, and the scoops when you fit them.

Ah but how many have you been made unwelcome on, I'm up to 3 now because I disagreed with somebody, somehow, somewhere. Have been banned on only one though, don't ask and I won't tell but it's one where they think they know everything but when asked why they tell you they haven't seen, built or even been aware of such a kit. :whistle

Not much to report. Just that my Olympus 201 exhaust arrived. Not bad considering they came from the States.
