The Cyber-Hobby 1/200th scale kit has been patiently waiting for this treatment, so let's blow the dust off of the box and get started!

Wings are needed. I'm using everything the kit calls for, just extending the fuselage and adding canards.

You can buy try!   :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Who the H E double hockey sticks can properly mask a canopy in this scale? The front windows may be do-able, but those little portholes some fiend decided to put on the Vulcan's flight deck? I'm probably going to just drill them out and then, after painting, fill it with Micro Kristal Klear.

Dave this is z very cool idea and I love 😍

As for those port holes..ya could just glue the windows in and then PSR em out of existence..this will be a very high performance Vulcan so who'd need em .

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I'm sorry, but as that's a Vulcan, it's got to be feet and inches.  :lol:

Looks like I overestimated my abilities. If this gets done on time it will be a miracle.
