1/72 Airfix Vulcan IFR Probe

Anyone out there got one spare kicking around? Clumsily knocked the one off my model of 558, can’t find it, not happy 😡

It had disappeared, somehow seems to have trotted back again now. Honestly it wasn’t just me… :confused:

As Peter says, make your own. The Airfix probe is rubbish in any case. Better to make a new one from sprue or plastic rod, and attach a nozzle from another (better) kit’s refuelling probe.

All fixed, in fact I now have 7 potential spares- Rockets for the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire 24 are perfect with a little bit of remodelling! 🙂
So all 3 Vulcans look proper again, till the next time one gets knocked anyway… 🙁

Cheers Peter btw

Save your pennies and make a new one out of stretched sprue.. easy peasy.. I have had to make 3 or 4 of the dam things for my Vulcan

Email Airfix, when James May made the Spitfire they said they prided themselves on supplying broken parts for their kits or something along those lines :diablo:
