papa695's XH558 Vulcan

[Guest]

Well, if you have had the opportunity to see it flying then those are memories, regardless of the aircraft's future, that you will cherish forever.

Ask me if I have memories of Vulcan's taking off RAF Finningly during the 'cold war'?

Right above my head three of them in a triangle formation and within minutes three

different Vulcan's pass over my head to land! Now that is some memory to think of

and it became the norm' when we used to go and watch them do their stuff, The noise

was deafening as the Vulcan's went over our heads and it seemed you could have touched

them they were that low and slow. FANTASTIC.

Looking good. Your re-scribing looks excellent, you obviously have a bit more patience than me !

That extra litle detailing looks the part Ian, it's amazing what a difference a few wires make eh?

[Guest]

Have you glued all the main wheels onto the undercarriage ?

I found in the past not to glue the wheels onto the pegs until the model is nearly finished!

That way you can glue all the wheels on to ensure 'all' of the wheels sit on the deck.

Ian.

[papa 695]

Hi Ian no not glued yet, just placed them there so i/you's could see what it looks like, was going to glue them in last anyway, but thanks for the heads up

The front well looks great Ian , the additions really make a big difference. The old profile gauge is a very useful bit of kit isnt it? , invaluable sometimes when youre having to make bulkheads .firewalls etc. cheers tony
