Avro Vulcan B.2, Black Buck - Airfix A12013

Description

Avro Vulcan B.2, Black Buck - Airfix A12013

The Avro Vulcan is recognized as the world's first delta-wing strategic bomber in aviation history. Designed with a large payload capacity in mind (up to 10,000 pounds) the Vulcan was suited as an airborne impediment to threats to the UK. Squadron service began with the No.83 Squadron at RAF Waddington (1957), nine years after their historic raid on the Ruhr Valley. The Avro Vulcan B.2 variant was produced more than any other RAF Vulcan. The development of the aircraft was pushed due to the advancement of the Soviets' anti-aircraft technology as well as instabilities with the original Bristol Olympus engines. The V-bomber crews were equipped with a nuclear stand-off missile or conventional weapons. This kit with 271 plastic parts faithfully recreates the Avro Vulcan B.2 "Black Buck" in 1/72 scale with two finishing options as served in the Falklands Campaign in 1982. The fully assembled model is 45cm long, and 12cm tall with a wingspan of 47cm.
