The photos that follow, illustrste the various stages and methods of construction.
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. That is why there is also a description of how I carried out the construction.

Hi Vulcan12,
Fantastic version of one of the greatest aircraft ever built. I have been looking at a self design build of a vulcan but not shure where to start. It must have taken you hours to design. Could you tell me where you started with your design and any tips you could give.
Cheers
