whilst my interpretation of the Skybolt test Vulcan isn't perfect I am happy with the results and the skills that I have learn't whilst building and painting including getting used to airbrushing, and weathering the airframe.

The Vulcan started life as a Bluesteel B2, but after thinking that everyone will have done on i wanted something different.

After lots of research, my original intention was to scratch build two Skybolt missiles but found that Skarkit had a kit comprising of two missile with a choice of either nose and the pylons for the Vulcan

My aim


Progress












and the finished item
