Nice build, with the state my hands are now it would be lucky if it had one rivet in place.

As it will on those day it poured, Airfix had not long brought out their 1/72 scale kit, and this one guy was singing its praises. We happened to stop under the tail area, and on looking up this guy counted all of the rivets and then exclaimed that the builders of the Vulcan had it wrong and that Airfix had the correct amount of rivets on their kit ??? Do not know if it was the cold or...

This guy stole my model project. A lot bigger than mine and probably more accurate except for Simon's comments.

I won a best in show with this about 5 years ago. And I got my gusset plates right.
