AVRO Vulcan - new design??
So the giant Fly 1:33 Avro Vulcan (nearly 1 meter span, 3 ft!!) is getting extremely rare. I had a look at Ebay, and also checked a number of traders here in Europe - traced exactly one copy. It is really large, and the internal construction is as complicated as can be. Over the top, really.
But: just as with large modern architecture, the shape and lines of a model can be shown just as effectively in a much smaller model. Added advantage: much less need for the internal structures. So this is the question: isn't there anyone out there who would like to answer the challenge?! |

I have zero design skills, but I can get full walk around detail pics if anyone wants them.

Gary Pilsworth designed a Vulcan B2 in 1:72 http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/v...ownloadid=1758
A detailed 1:48 would be nice too. Though it would still be big at some 60 cms in wingspan.

Bruno's free 1:300 version is as big as I wanted my V Force to go.....
He even did "Cold War Cam" versions of them for me. Last weekend I was at RAF Cosford, where such things are all in touching distance. Unfortunately the hangers are so crowded it's difficult to get far enough away to take pictures of individual aircraft. The Cold War Hanger was mind blowing for me. I also saw a B1, B52, and a B17 fly past. The B17 seemed determined to prove he had enough fuel on board to cross the Atlantic. He whizzed around for nearly 30 minutes, doing about ten fly pasts without ever going out of sight.

I'm thinking a 1/24 scale Vulcan might be an interesting build. Just kidding, I'd have to clean out my garage to build something that big.

No sure what this really is. Seems a scaled down version of the 1/33 I have
