Vulcan B1 Test

[Clave]

Another 'project-in-a-day' from me.

Finished basically, so I'm just looking for faults, and maybe adding additional details..

Looks pretty decent but I think a camo scheme could do. NMF looks kinda weird on the Vulcan. Anyway, good job Clave.

 

[Clave]

Thanks

It's actually 'anti-flash white' which was standard for the nuclear-equipped V-Bombers of the time.

They were camouflaged and upgraded when they switched roles to using conventional weapons.

I just realised that I missed off the windscreen wipers - so that's one thing to fix next time...

 

[Clave]

I have since found out that the B1s only had dark markings...

Fixes:

Markings - now standard dark type
Fin - changed black area.
Serial number font - changed
Wipers - added
Bomb-aiming position - reduced overlap.
Canopy - fixed lifting hole - reference drawing wrong.
Intakes - fixed - again reference drawing showing B2 inlets on B1 drawing...
Moved nose window.

As always Clave, STUPENDOUS WORK sir!!!!

 

[Gnomey]

Great work Clave, looking forward to seeing one of the conventional bomber versions as well with the camo.

 

[Clave]

Yep, I will definitely be converting/drawing the B1A and B2 versions once I am happy with this one.

Just got some markings to sort out on the nose now and it should be done...

 

[Clave]

Final revisions (I hope)

Changed the dark areas on the spine and fin (think they a radar/radio related, not sure)
Added wing roundel
Added nose markings for rescue and first aid stuff (not that they can be seen much)

Nice one this plane is too big...
