airfix vulcan

I just picked up one that was already built at a local hobby shop that is closing its doors. Its missing some wheels. Does anyone have any spare wheels for this kit?

If so contact me here thunderhead7(at)hotmail.com

wow, cranberries too? very cool.

yeah, i do miss all the fun.

eh?

thanks, i will be most gratefull.

even the 1/72 is pretty impressive. gotta finish a 1/48 walrus for a driend, but the vulcan is next.

Yep, sure can! Now I know why books are such great investments.

All I need is for some old boy to die and for his Argus "Aircraft of the Fighting Powers" books (later editions) to turn up at a car boot sale for a fiver then I'm done for a while.

XM605.

Full camo, it dwarfs many of the aircraft on display.

Any others on display in the U.S.?

where is this museum, tom?

Atwater, CA. Central Valley near Merced.

Check their web site, just Google or whatever Castle Air Force Base Museum.

The aircraft are all displayed in a park-like setting that really helps photographers.

They used to do a party piece at RAF Waddington shows, a four Vulcan scramble, Nose to tail roll down the runway, sit on the tails and climb vertical in line with after burn on, straight up. The shock waves and noise were fantastic, you could hardly stand upright or breath.

I used to live at Market Rasen on the flight path to Scampton and you could always tell when one was incoming, even before you heard it, the tv picture would start bouncing. I kid you not!

I realsised that after I posted. It was very late at night here :-) David Pennington snipped-for-privacy@bbbweb.com

No offense, but somehow I dont think so. If a Vulcan could ever outfly an F 16, everyone would have bought one by now :)

I did see the Vulcan fly at Trans Po '72, and it was impressive. It did handle, compared to the usuall B 52's But it could never handle with an F 16, never...........

Now watch a B 1 strut it's stuff at low level, corner velocity turns sometime. Besides being the loudest A/C I'ver ever heard at low level (Full AB at this point) It was staying within the confines of the airshow area at Andrews AFB, ie; always within easy eyesight of the crowd. A true fighter like display from a four rngine bomber if there ever was one. The shock diamonds, and noise from those engines, while it stood on a wing and hauled around was a sight to see !

Now a friend I know, tells me stories of B 58's screaming overhead at less than or around 500 AGL while living in Texas, now that would have truely been awsome ! :)

ok, thanks

Occasionally the Thunderbirds make the Reno Air Races. When they are there they usually have the solo run the Unlimited course in a inute or less.

The real fun is when the solo does the Formula One course in a few seconds.
