I’m taking it slowly and at this present time just about to stick top and bottom of the wings together.

Great kit and great build Gary! I hope you are well

What a terrific kit Gary! You've done a fantastic job of putting it together

Bought this kit the other week! Thankyou for the interesting tips 😊 I grew up near Farnborough and saw this remarkable aeroplane many times. The most memorable was the time I witnessed a low and exceptionally loud fly-by with a fifth engine strapped to the underside. I was told it was testing the new engine for the upcoming jet, Concorde. I would love to build that version 🤪

Excellent job Gary, I live in Lincolnshire so used to see the mighty Vulcan in anti flash white.

It's really impressive how aviation advanced so fast after WW2. From slow, ugly, lumbering bombers as the Lancaster or He 111, to the sleek Vulcan. In just 6 years.

Just got underway with the new 'Black Buck' version - thanks for a great instructional video.

AIRFIX!!! Please, please, please, please make a 1/48 scale kit! If Revell can make a 1/48 B1b, I’m sure you can upscale this beautiful kit!

Mrs Rusty bought me this as a Xmas present so this is a timely build and review. Looks a right beast but you've made a good job of it. Thanks

Great job, looks fantastic!

Superb job there, Gary. What a beast! 👍🏻👏🏻

Idea for dry brushing (before I forget it as usual). How about a home made tool of a piece of sprue with a small layer of sponge wrapped around it? Then get a small amount of paint on it, remove it until it's tacky as for normal dry brushing, then gently roller the surface detail. You can't accidentally get in the grooves because it's a roller not a brush.

enjoyed that Gary what a fabulous aircraft

Very impressive, Gary!

This made me happy for the rest of the day, it’s so satisfying to watch building videos!

love the end result great build and video

Another good build Gary, keep them coming 👏

Very good video and finished model looks great....thanks!

Had this as a Christmas present and only starting it as this is my 5th kit I have built , I'm looking forward to build it , but nervus . Thank you for your video I feeling a little better after watching it .

Another well executed build!Well done sir!🙂👌👌

Super Build mate, really enjoyed your presentation, thanks very much, take care.

I’m still somewhat a beginner/intermediate scale modeler and I just order this a yesterday. Looking forward to getting it. This was a very good video.

Nice work my friend. 10/10.

That’s a very nice job you’ve done there. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this one. All the best.

Cant wait for the Airfix Victor to come out so I can have a full set of V bombers!

Superb review. Will consider for a future buy. Cheers!

Very beautiful build 👍👍👍

...- is for Vulcan! Nice build, Gary!

you did a spectaclar job well done, i am currently working on a revell bf 109

The superb Vulcan ,I built the first airfix Vulcan kit and it took me two weeks getting the air intakes too look seamless as these are the most noticeable areas but in the end it was worth it filling rubbing down priming etc your kit is better my one the cockpit wasn’t as detailed I sprayed mine anti flash white and it was a dam buster aircraft I think XL321 with blue steal ,growing up in the seventies and living in London I saw one fly over me and it was heading into Heathrow 1975 ? It was still up there on the Sunday ,great video and good to put a face to a voice ,all the best Mark

Very good build! Top! Thank you for This vídeo sir!

'Why do we do it?' Probably self satisfaction. Others may not know you did it right, but /you/ will :)

Really good job ✔ well ✔ 👍

Airfix, at the moment, can do no wrong. They are releasing new kits that people want, and offer a great value for the modeler's money..

Look at the size of this beauty!

Great build Gary, I'd love to build this, just don't think I have any more room for my models!

Awesome

I'm building one at the moment.Having built three of the old kit, I got rid of the cement mixer for filler as this kit goes together well. Jet pipe nozzles were a pain and the instructions could be a little clearer but a great kit. Love the bomb bay. Only problem where do I display this big bird?

Nice job Gary! Came out great as usual! ...nice to have a face to go with a voice too, ha!

Spectacular finished model! Last year I watch a build of a large model Titanic. It had a motor to turn the propellers and the interior staircase could be seen but was built anyway.. Just the same with you painting the interior which is not visible. As a child of the Cold War I remember seeing V bombers at various aerodromes and Bloodhound missiles at RAF Bassingbourn. I believe you have made the Valiant, do Airfix do the Victor as well?

What a good walk-through of the build. Were the camouflage masks home made?

Awesome build and I like the Red Flag version, something a bit different. I have the kit but it's a bit intimidating to tackle at my skill level at the moment. Quick question, the plastic masking set, did you make that or buy it somewhere?

Great video, just the right length. Hope to get this kit. - but where to put it.? Super build and always the question - why do we detail interiors we can't see.? Camouflage masks a great idea.

Thanks for the video, very clear to follow. Question, where did you get the pvc masks from? I've never seen that before...., would like to buy some, would make life a lot easier

Fab build. I never knew about those underside camouflage colours. What was the thinking behind them?

Excellent build, Gary! May I just ask, where did you get the adhesive masks for the wings from?

After a year of ending this build, I have a doubt. When you set in place the front landing gear it seemed to be a little fragile, at least to me. Has it maintained "well"? I mean any bending or broke?. Thanks for the video, a great build.

Very nice build. Thanks. What are the length and width of the finished model? (I’m wondering if I have the shelf space!)

Could you please tell me where you get the camouflage masking from thanks i am new to modeling and enjoy your blog

Gary you you are a controlled and gentle modeller that produces really good results! This is an excellent video. Now this ‘cat’ in workshop issue: how may we protect ourselves against similar? I am deeply concerned as I hear ‘rashes and breakouts’ may also occur?! What a spectacular model, she looks so wonderful and ready to go, I hope mine will look as good I don’t own her yet as that spend level is not on my list until I know if I can do justice to lessor sizes/complicated kits. It must be a brilliant situation to build a plane you ‘clambered around in’ during your youth! Want to share more? I won’t risk building her without another view of this video before I do so as this is very educational. Thanks Gary Bob England

It’s very different to the Falklands 25 version I’ve got

Gary have you got any part numbers for the package camouflage masks for the vulcan

Hi and what was the manufacturer of the plastic templates used during airbrushing ?

First of all good job Second of all nice to see an ex cadet doing this Third of all I’ve built two of these monsters and I want to do a third

Прекрасный обзор.

I hadn't thought of using PVA for clear parts. Have you tried clear PVA? I picked up a 250ml bottle from 'The Works' for £1.50 and will try it on my next build.

Hi Can you tell us what company produces the decals you used for this build please

Hiya Gary! I’m a beginning modeller with only a few kits under my belt. I couldn’t build the Lancaster unfortunately but I’m deeply considering getting this kit as a bit of a challenge. Would you say it’s suitable for someone with just a few kits or should I hold off?

PVC adhesive mask? Where can I get this? Thanks

What adhesive do you use for the top camo pattern?

Can I ask whether you did any weathering? Because I'm at that stage of my kit and i'm unsure if the vulcan weathered or not.

Your paintwork finish is lovely and a phenomenal build, well done. I can't recall hearing in the video if this is handpainted or airbrushed?

It’s unfortunate that the lack of ejection seats for the three rear facing crew was common to all of the ‘V’ bombers, I think the Victor crews had it the worst, their crew access door, was right in front of the left hand engine intakes.

Random idea. What about a tribute Vulcan in the markings of F/L Withers from the Black Buck mission to the Falklands?

I wonder how many of us got caught out by the main wheel doors.

You should have at least mentioned the Vulcan Howl. I think this is the best one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrCcpqeaqJ-4cn0.html I remember seeing the Vulcan at many RAF Leuchars shows - on one occasion, after it had buzzed around like an oversized fighter, a USAF B52 flew past. Some RAF crew were near the crowd line & one shouted out "He'll be back soon, he needs most of the North Sea to turn around"

FACE!!!!!!!!!
