This Dragon Warbirds of the Avro Vulcan B.2 is precisely made to 1/200 scale. The panel lines are sharply scribed, including both the top and bottom surfaces of the large wings. The aircraft is beautifully painted in a striking RAF camouflage scheme, and it carries the markings of a bomber from No. 27 Squadron in the 1974 timeframe. This unit operated out of RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, and it flew the Vulcan B.2 between 1961 and 1982. This impressive Warbirds model commemorates the important role the Vulcan played in the Cold War.
Designed to meet an Air Ministry specification for a high-speed, high-altitude, long-range nuclear bomber, the Avro Vulcan was first flown on August 30, 1952. Though revolutionary, the Vulcan's original delta wing tailless design was an unknown quantity. The first prototype crashed in the fall of 1949 and the early straight leading edge design was later modified to kink towards the wingtip, giving the service aircraft superior flying characteristics. Carrying Britain's first nuclear weapon (the Blue Danube), the Vulcan's original role was nuclear deterrence, but it was later modified for air-to-air refueling missions and maritime radar reconnaissance. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Dragon's 1:200 scale Avro Vulcan is constructed entirely of plastic with finely etched panel line details throughout. The top portion of the model's fuselage and wing are cast as a single piece, giving the model a seamless look. The smooth lines of the Vulcan are broken only by the delicate pitot tubes that are separately applied to the fuselage. The wing has been masterfully rendered and features turbo-fan blade details buried deep within the engine intakes. Additional features include easily configurable landing gear for ground display and an elegant display stand for in-flight display.
