Airfix has released an update on their upcoming, new tool 1/72 Avro Vulcan B.2 kit (A12011) which includes sprue images and detailed test build photos.
As previously reported, the company initially announced the kit’s development at the Scale Modelworld 2019 event in Telford. The kit’s spures have been “rigorously inspected” by the development but are still subject to change before production. Likewise, the model seen in the new test build images is still subject to change as well, as the process allows the team to “examine both the accuracy of molding detail and effectiveness of models construction from the parts.”
The Vulcan kit is currently slated for release sometime this autumn. Click below to check out a selection of the newly released images.
