The anti-flash white paint scheme never looked that grubby or weathered, did it ? I'm looking forward to this model immensely, but that just doesn't look authentic at all to me.
Indeed. Perhaps a more weathered look on a modern '558, rather than the anti-flash white scheme. The smoke could do with a little beefing up aswell, should probably be a bit thicker (in size).
Bear in mind the Vulcan is still in Alpha, and an early Alpha at that so is still very much a work in progress, the weathering on the anti-flash white scheme has already been addressed and the smoke will be looked at a bit further into development.
I agree that in the first shots the Vulcan seems to have been over weathered, but now it appears to have gone completely the other way, under weathered.
I felt that the textures of the PSS/Just Flight Vulcan let the model down as they weren't detailed enough ie.realistic weathering etc so it would be a shame for this one to follow suit.
Model looks really good though, keep up the good work.
The second group of pictures are closer to reality. Be assured, I closely studied the Vulcan's anti-flash paint scheme as a 4-year old at Wyton and Gaydon, so I know what I'm talking about! ;-)
Seriously though, Garry has it...more panel details and lines will probably correct the overall impression on the eye. But that white is definitely more authentic. Well done chaps.
but FS has it's limits
