Airfix 1/72 Avro Vulcan B.2 Black Buck Edition A012013

Additional Paint and Glue required to complete
Scheme option A - Avro Vulcan B.Mk.2 XM594, The Scampton Wing
From the mid 1960s, Scampton’s Vulcans gave up their iconic white anti-flash paint scheme for one which featured standard RAF camouflage on all upper surfaces, reflecting the tactical change from high to low altitude operations. Significant advances in Soviet SAM missile capability meant that Vulcan crews could no longer be expected to safely conduct their original high altitude Blue Steel delivery missions and were forced to ‘head for the deck’.

Scheme option B - Avro Vulcan B.Mk.2 XM602, RAF No.12 Squadron
As the massive construction hangar doors at Avro’s Woodford factory aerodrome were pushed open on 30th August 1952 and Avro Vulcan prototype VX770 was wheeled out onto the hardstanding, she must have made for an awe-inspiring sight. Looking absolutely resplendent in its all-over white ‘Anti-Flash’ paint finish and proudly wearing its Royal Air Force insignia, what the Avro engineers had managed to produce was not only the world’s first delta bomber, but also the most advanced bomber in the world at that time.

Designed in Great Britain
The Vulcan has been designed with the modeller in mind. The wings, historically in three pieces, now come in two to simplify and fortify your build.
Through every step of the design process, our developers continued to keep modellers at the forefront of every choice they made. At Airfix we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination, so every effort has been made to ensure that the building process is as enjoyable as possible!
