Nice build, with the state my hands are now it would be lucky if it had one rivet in place.

Not a chance. Got an invite to Waddington a few years ago to do a base tour and photograph all the Vulcans at that time still in service.

We happened to stop under the tail area, and on looking up this guy counted all of the rivets and then exclaimed that the builders of the Vulcan had it wrong and that Airfix had the correct amount of rivets on their kit ??? Do not know if it was the cold or...

I won a best in show with this about 5 years ago. And I got my gusset plates right.
