Avro Vulcan JY_AI
Here’s early notice of my new project so that I can check whether the models I have in mind are what people want. It’s an Avro Vulcan B2 for FS9 and FSX.
I have the first LOD Gmax construction almost done (just the drag chute to add):
The model features animated spoilers that I’ll set as flaps so they are extended on approach, heel down main bogies, an animated crew door with extending ladder and a flip up drag chute faring. This first model is based on XH558 (Vulcan To The Sky airworthy aircraft) but has a Blue Steel stand-off missile beneath the fuselage for use on an alternative model. I’ll include a paint kit as usual, but I plan to produce and paint:
- XH558 (wrap around camo)
- 8 individual Vulcans each of 9, 44, 50 and 101 Squadrons, circa 1977 (grey/green camo upper surfaces, light grey underside and red/blue roundels). These are to go with my existing FS9 and FSX RAF Waddington retro scenery to replace the less detailed UKMIL models.
- A single B2 in (grey/green camo upper surfaces, light grey underside with high viz roundels).
- A single B2 in anti-flash white
- Options for a Blue Steel load-out and tail Radar Warning Receiver/nose refuelling probe as appropriate.
Mike M has already been helping me find some dirty smoke for take-off and there is a really loud sound pack under development by Steve (inny) over at ACG.

Re: Avro Vulcan JY_AI
Great news John, the Vulcan was my first choice when you asked about a new project for a retro aircraft to work to.

Bl**dy smart! Really good looking model there.
Was hoping that a K.2 might find its way in there but I am certainly not going to complain if it doesn't.
Nice work, john.

Re: Avro Vulcan JY_AI
Yes I can do the K2 refueller. There were 6 of them converted I believe and they operated with a single hose housed in a "box" under the tail cone:

It looks like this was a permanent fixture, unlike the retractable one in the Victor. I'll also make one with a hose and drogue at 20,000ft again.

Re: Avro Vulcan JY_AI
Another winner John, looking forward to it. Dare I ask if you have the Mk 1 under consideration as well? I appreciate that the wings/engine intakes are very different, so would guess it to be too much work to reverse engineer.

Re: Avro Vulcan JY_AI
Andy, I'll pass on the Mk1 if you don't mind. It's not just one additional model, it's probably 7 LODs = 7 models x 2 for FS9 and FSX = 14 additional models. If the intakes are really different (haven't studied them), that would mean new wings and a fresh Boolean cut-out. Not the easiest of things to do. If it's new wings, then it's fesh wheel wells and spoiler housings. It's a lot of work.

Perfectly correct, John. On both counts.John Young wrote:Yes I can do the K2 refueller. There were 6 of them converted I believe and they operated with a single hose housed in a "box" under the tail cone:

I believe that these were the serials, although somebody might want to check this

Re: Avro Vulcan JY_AI
John, that is what I figured, a massive amount of work. I shall be exceedingly happy to see your Mk 2's in sim, will fit neatly into my rapidly expanding retro setup. And, once again, thank you for all of your excellent models.John Young wrote:Andy, I'll pass on the Mk1 if you don't mind.

John, this really was a nice surprise. Really at a loss for words that describe how grateful I am for the skills and patience of everybody that has contributed this year. For a motley crue of misfits and vagabonds, I don't think we do too badly. The retro scene has exploded beyond all bounds - and thanks to Messrs Young and Pearson, it's about to go thermonuclear. Thanks everyone.

Re: Avro Vulcan JY_AI
I could do the S2 (MRR) Gary, but do you really want it? The only difference that I can see from a normal 27 Sqn B2 are the two "sniffer" pods under the wings and not all of the 9 aircraft carried those.

Good story about 27 at Scampton supposedly the 617 crews arrived at work one day to find a big area of grass fenced off outside the hanger
When questioned why some witty chap said it was where they had buried their elephant
(direct reference to the grave of Guy Gibsons dog (name not mentioned to be PC)) which is still there today.

Oh yes! I'll be setting up a FS9 Retro version at this rate. Love the 1960s RAF
