The Avro Vulcan is an aircraft that has captured the imagination of the British public in a way that few aircraft can claim to, Concorde and the Supermarine Spitfire are rightfully in that small set of aircraft along with the Vulcan. Right from the pure delta prototypes' first public appearances at the airshows of the early 1950s until XH558's final fight in 2015, Vulcans have been the star of British airshows, performing displays that seem to defy the laws of physics in such a large aircraft, even gaining some popularity overseas in the US. 

​

When it comes to modelling the Avro Vulcan, XH558 seems to be one of the most popular airframes to depict. Most plastic kits of the aircraft has, at some point, included decals for XH558. Currently, the options for modelling a Vulcan B2 are, in 1:144 scale, the Great Wall Hobby (Pit Road) or Trumpeter kits, in 1:200 scale there is the Dragon/Cyberhobby kit and in 1:72 there is the venerable Airfix kit from the 1980s, and a new tool Airfix kit intended to be released in September 2020. Of these kits, each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages, and all will make a good model given the time and effort. 

 

If you want the earlier Vulcan B1 or B1a, I'm afraid you're out of luck unless you can get hold of an extremely rare 1:96 Frog kit or perhaps the 1:96 Lindberg kit which is unfortunately not very accurate. It's definitely time for someone to bring a kit to the market of the earlier Vulcans.
