About product

Avro Vulcan, volume 30 of the Warpaint series

A publication, not a kit. The monograph on the British Avro Vulcan strategic bomber was written by Kev Darling and came out as volume 30 of the aviation series from the British publisher Warpaint Books. The title covers the B.1, B.1A and B.2 versions as well as the K.2 tanker. The text is in English and the softcover format is close to A4.

The real subject

The Vulcan was a four-engine bomber with a large delta wing. It first flew in 1952 and from 1956 it formed, together with the Valiant and the Victor, the trio of British V-bombers that carried the nuclear weapon. The B.2 version received a reworked wing and more powerful Bristol Olympus engines and could carry the Blue Steel stand-off missile. Its best-known combat use came paradoxically at the very end of its career: in 1982 Vulcans flew from Ascension over the Falklands against the airfield at Port Stanley, and the distance called for an extensive chain of tankers. Some of the aircraft ended their service converted into K.2 tankers, and the type was retired in 1984.

What the book contains

  • the development history of the type and its combat service
  • photographs of the aircraft in the individual versions
  • color profiles of camouflage and markings
  • scale drawings as a basis for the build

For modelers who build the Vulcan in large and small scales and need a reference for markings and for telling the versions apart, and for anyone interested in British strategic aviation of the Cold War. The extent of the volume is not stated here; the page count differs between the individual titles in the series.

FAQ

No. It is a printed book about the real aircraft. There are no plastic parts or decals in the package; the publication serves as a reference for building and marking a model.

English. The Warpaint series comes from a British publisher and the whole series is published in English, so the drawings, profiles and photo captions are straightforward to use.

The title gives the B.1, B.1A and B.2 versions and the K.2 tanker. The difference in wing outline between the B.1 and the B.2 is fundamental for a modeler, so telling the versions apart has a direct effect on the build.

It is not stated here. The extent differs between the individual volumes of the Warpaint series and the figures given for this title do not agree. The format is softcover, close to A4.
