Work begins again! And signed print of XH558

Good evening,

School's broken up for easter and so progress has once again resumed- starting off with the completion of the basic bomb-bay frame and spars, some fettling needs to be carried out to clear out any bends and any pencil marks.
Plan of action from there on is installation of bomb bay details, followed by the mechanism for the bomb doors. Other areas which could be worked on while the glue is drying include the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) and the jet-pipe bay detailling.







-Also note the rather wonderful signed print of XH558; signed by- Martin Withers DFC, Phil Davies, Bill Ramsay, Bill Perrins, Johnathan Lazzarri, Andy Marson and I think Phill O'Dell and Kev Rumens.



That's it for today,

Sam

As mentioned earlier, I've been using a CAD/CAM software to do a bit of "preliminary" planning and designing, here's just a few of them:

The Coventry Vulcan

I just realised, I had forgotten to post any real pictures of a vulcan's interior, so here are some to give you an idea of how cramped the cockpit is.
