Farewell 558 ;(

And so for the last time, Vulcan XH558 flew over Cosford yesterday on the first day of her farewell tour.

Bomb bay takes shape

Finally, after much deliberation and editing, the first bomb bay spars are being added to the side-wall of the bomb bay, the front bulkhead for the bomb bay has been added as well.

Suggested Documentary

Evening, again.

I should have added this much earlier but for any Vulcan fans there are two great documentaries to watch:

Falklands most daring raid XM607
and
617-Last Days Of A Vulcan Squadron

Research, research, research.

Good evening,

The bomb bay spars are gradually coming together, trying to source images of the servicing panel at the front section of the bomb bay doors and trying to find a moderately comprehensive wiring diagram for the bomb bay roof. The front cockpit is being planned out as I obtain new diagrams.
I'll leave you with a few images of XH558 earlier in the year:

Rear cockpit panels, continued.....

Afternoon all,

I'm finding this quite this quite an enjoyable thing to do-some more panels over the last hour or so. More to come soon!

Rear cockpit panels taking shape

Well with the brief interlude of GCSE results day, I return to this project. For now, the rear cockpit panels are coming together and the structure is finally starting to take shape! The main additions include the periscope (on the right), the H2S radar unit and the joystick.

Bomb bay spars...

Just a quick one, been doing quite a bit of research on the bomb bay-making the spars and structure.
