Silver? Silver? Silver? Silver?
Not when I used to watch them circling Woodford.
They were white.

The first Vulcans were delivered and operated in all-over silver...

You need to be do better research that dodgy wikis...I've been researching the early Vulcans for over five years and the shape and colour of the early Vulcans is well documented...

The first Vulcans delivered had the beautiful straight wing before being retrofitted with the B.1 wing with the small kink; the later B.2 had the extended span and larger leading edge kink.

Vulcan colours were white for the 1st two prototypes, all-over silver for the first production aircraft, followed by all-over white, then cam above and grey underneath; and finally all-over cam...

Are you trying to be insulting or merely used to dominating any conversation.
I've been fascinated by the Vulcan for over 60 years now and know that the sources I quoted are sufficiently correct.
Tell me something I don't know rather than just iterating what I have already cited adequately enough.

Oh, and if you want a kinked wing don't first ask for a straight one



Incidentally for anyone who can't (or quite likely won't) identify the fact, my first post in this thread was intended to to be humourous (or should that be humorous - and if that then surely it should be humoros - shouldn't it )

Nice work Gary. 1:48 scale on A4 paper? Would sit nice with airfix's new release.

Gixergs, is that photo shopped or real, looks real to me. Look at the sun shine on all 3 radomes.
