Description

Occupying a significant position in post-war British aviation, the Avro Vulcan, with its huge delta wing, was one of the most distinctive aircraft ever flown. Built as a fast, high-altitude strategic bomber capable of carrying a nuclear device, it served as Britain's airborne deterrent for many years. When it entered service in 1957, it was the fastest nuclear-capable bomber in the world.

By the time of the 1982 Falklands conflict, the Vulcan was nearing retirement. However, it was called upon for one final, famous mission: the "Black Buck" raids. Flying from Ascension Island, these were the longest bombing raids in history at the time. This 1/72 scale kit from Airfix is a detailed replica of the B.Mk.2 variant as configured for these raids, featuring new parts for Shrike anti-radar missiles and ECM equipment, along with decals for two famous "Black Buck" aircraft.
