It was funny when she was trying to remember the date WW2 started and them going through all the rank structures trying to get ghostly figures to answer.
will be great to see the Vulcan painted and housed but it looks great at the moment outside where you can appreciate the size of it and get to see it from different angles.
If it was housed you would loose some of that scale and would perhaps need to have an upper level for visiters to see the upper wings.
I love to see aircraft in dynamic poses but that is not always a possibility.
If it wasnt for flight worthy XH558 then im sure it would of been even more of a big deal to see a vulcan on its tail and people would of come far and wide to witness and photo.

thanks for that,
pity its not evidence of a definite whitley.
at least its from an aircraft, will need to have another look for proof.
true enough!
A future rear turret to appear at cockpit fest?
RAF Snaith is a great place to visit today.
Here’s todays offering (and yes the aircraft was completed in a couple of hours….)
Interesting to see your stages, suprising how quick you did it.
Just found this terrific thread – all wonderful stuff! Here’s one of my humble pieces – webite with others is http://www.hmgartwork.com
Yes you do love chutes but i dont think anyone will complain 😀
Latest from me – 30×20 oils. I’ve a thing about brake ‘chutes!
This is great and captures the weather really well and dramatic
great work, front cover of the next book?
Does anyone know how to find this pdf or can send it to me?
Ive been trying to find it but without success.
“The drawings are by Alfred Granger and they appeared in Aerodata International # 7 “Handley Page Halifax: Merlin Engined Variants” by Philip J. R. Moyes, Vintage Aviation Publications Ltd, Oxford, 1979.
There is a pdf file of it in circulation (legally questionable I’m sure) but that’s actually how I got them. I found it with Google. (I would have prefered purchasing an actual copy; but I couldn’t find it anywhere).”
Its a great model project, i never thought about questioning the validity of models. It seems with a Little research and time they could improve the models so the amount of work needed by model makers could be eliminated. Maybe it would cost to much to recreate a mold but surely how they arrived at the end model in the first place questions their professionalism.
couple of pics on website fitting the Avon engine.
cheers for bring it up, looks like a great project.
cheers for that.
How best to handle this item?

The second pic shows its shape and it seems to be painted a light grey and made out of stainless.
cheers for looking
