Not quite ready to fly yet. I have installed every thing except the turbines and fuel tanks. So far I have an AUW of just over 10Kg.

So then I spent about 6 weeks drawing all of the ribs / formers (that ...

I am currently building a 1/12 scale Avro Vulcan B Mk2 This was not built from a kit. I had to design it from photographs, the main dimensions and a very small (a5) 3 view diagram.
