To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, Dragon has released a 1/200 scale plastic kit of the Vulcan. The model depicts the B.2 variants that were specially prepared and modified for the Falklands conflict, including the aircraft with the serial number XM607 that carried out the first raid on 1 May 1982. In this one attack, it dropped 21 bombs. The model includes a pair of newly tooled Shrike missiles to fit on the improvised pylons on the Vulcan B.2’s wings. The details on the aircraft itself are sharply molded and modelers will find it assembles with satisfying ease. This model kit is a fitting tribute as Britain remembers this decisive campaign.
