I think this model has taken long to design and build than a certain Vulcan!! Finally got round to finishing the model and finallising the plans, cnc pack and all the other bits. Package should be available in the next couple of weeks through my web site..... price around the £280 mark

Spec- 78" wing span, 25lbs AUW, 60-80 turbine
Happy days

Very nice as always Tony, I hope it is a success for you; Jets are a bit out of my league but it doesn’t stop me wanting one.

Do you know what Ian, when i did the talk circuit last year, the amount of modellers who came up after the talk and said "what engine goes in the nose then?" I was tempted to say it was a prototype push-pull Vampire which had a turbine in the back and engine up front!!!...but i couldn't be that cruel

Happy days
