A new-tool Avro Vulcan is always going to be exciting and it’s excellent that Airfix has chosen to replace their very old tooling with a brand new model – happy days!

There are so many schemes for the Vulcan B.2 that it wore during its service that you have plenty of choice. The kit provides an overall Anti-Flash White scheme as well as an early grey/green camo one and no doubt the aftermarket suppliers will provide some great alternatives in the coming months.

Have you seen what’s in the box?

So that’s the choice – go for the Anti-Flash White (AFW) scheme in the box and see if we can make it look half-realistic.

I don’t have much in the way of useful books on the Avro Vulcan, but there are, as ever, many photos on the internet if you spend a happy half an hour trawling through Google Images.

SMN Photo Reference library – has a great walkaround for the Vulcan B.2 and you’ll find that helpful for areas like the wheels, bomb bay and other details.
