Three?  :o

The 'Grey and Green Arrows'?  ;D

Well two will be variations of the box art and the third will probably be a Skybolt carrier seeing I have both versions by Blackdog.

EDIT: Third will be in wrap around scheme so one for each main camouflage scheme.

Didn't OGL do that a few years ago, with 4 Vulcans going vertical in very close proximity?

I'm interested on your opinion of the kits Alastair ----

Anti-flash white!   The White Arrows, perhaps?

For once Not Guilty.

That would have been the VDT (Vulcan Display Team) a joint effort between Aircav and Lancer.
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Me too. Thinking of using my old one for an Atlantic and something needing a British bomber nose. If I can be motivated enough to buy a new one.

There is a build of the "New" Airfix Vulcan on Britmodeller at the moment

https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235095867-172-airfix-avro-vulcan-new-tool/

which will save you the wait for me to say anything about it.

Build.... moi.....  :unsure:

I gather items for projects that may or may not get started and very rarely do any get finished. I will certainly be able to give an in box review if you want. I am certainly interested in seeing how the bomb bay goes together with an eye to transplanting most of the parts to the older kit as one idea I have is a bombed up Indian Air Force aircraft using the older kit.

No need to talk yourself down. That Goshawk's got my attention anyway..

I haven't visited that forum in years ----

Not been here for a while....pretty sure its been talked about, I subscribed to AMW mag and the free Spit MkV arrived.... I gotta say....wow, what a fantastic looking kit....no idea re accuracy but it has point wings and is pretty unlike the teutonic practical FW190.....these sort of kits that are affordable and packed with detail, compared to kits from not so long ago, will hold children's and new to the hobby's interest. I even picked up a new tool B17G from the Works recently for £15...a real bargain and last one....as I asked about a couple more..the detail on that kit has got Max chomping at the bit to build it...

That's good to hear mate  :thumbsup:

I've built a couple of the Airfix Spit Mk Vc's and they are fantastic builds
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Army of One

Very impressed by it..... Max has his eye on it....may have to get him one as he loves the shark mouth scheme....
