Hello,
Does anyone know where if possible I could find and purchase a set of Vulcan B2 blueprints as need detailed plans and diagrams for a large scale modelling project?
I have some manuals that have purchased from Ebay, but am looking for accurate drawings of the external structure to aid in the construction of the model.
Best wishes,
Martin

Many thanks to everyone for replying. I have bought all that Superchalk64 has and yesterday bought that edition of the Aeromodeller. Picked up a few things here and there and someone is kindly letting me borrow some manuals and books from the CAHC at Newquay. Interesting to know of the 1920s device. Not sure if we want a fullsize Vulcan model, but least know it can be done!
Best wishes to all,
Martin

Rich I believe that material was lost in a fire at Chadderton in 1959 as mentioned here:

It may not be up to the standard you are looking for but there is an excellent 3 view drawing of the Avro Vulcan B.2 in Aeromodeller October 1962. You can pick one up on eBay here http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xaeromodeller+october+1962.TRS0&_nkw=aeromodeller+october+1962&_sacat=267

Are there any Vulcan manufacturers drawings left? I had heard a lot was lost – along with many Lancaster, York and other Avro drawings – in a fire some years ago.

You could try looking at listings from superchalk64 on ebay. I hope I’m allowed to say that, I have no connection with this seller other than buying some CD / DVD’s from him.
Regards, Rich.

Have you tried the large scale flying model community?
Umm, no. Didn’t think of that, but need accurate drawings for panel lines and as much detail as possible. Have taken lots and lots of photos, just need the blueprints to take measurements from.
