Vulcan XL360 W.I.P.

Hello all,

as hinted in earlier posts, I have started work on painting Paul Foster's Vulcan. While still not 100% satisfied with the handling of the plane, the paintwork is coming along, albeit pre-weathered. Once I get some grime on her she should look better. The trouble has been deciding whether to do XL360 as she stands in her weather-beaten state at the M.A.M., or a more line-realistic, polished up version with stenciling et al. I opted for the latter.

See what you think, all feedback MUCH appreciated as I am somewhat a Vulcan noob :lol:

Cheers,

Steve

Been waiting for some extra PF Vulcan paints! Looks nice.

I've been playing around with the handling a bit, although it still doesn't quite feel like a Vulcan should (or at least how I think it should). Perhaps someone has had a good crack at the FDEs?

Looking good Steve. I'll definately call it a hit. Set my name on the waiting list, please :wink:

The model and all looks lovely and detailed. Great work! :smile:
My personnal taste would opt for this "clean" version, while I'm sure that there may be some people who would like the more weathered version. Maybe I would also see the charm of the latter. Difficult choice, Steve. I'll let you decide and I'm sure to enjoy the experience with either version.

The air file from Kanazouri Ito's Vulcan seems a bit more stable (to me, just a crazy cowboy pilot). Is that an idea? :think:

Great repaint but I am getting a semi-transparent plane. And yes, I have used the replacement model file.

Any ideas please.
