A New Plastic AFV Manufacturer - Vulcan Models


Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 02:06 AM UTC

By JIM RAE
First of all, my thanks to Terry Ashley for his assistance in this report.

Vulcan Scale Models are a completely NEW Manufacturer, who with their first release have announced something that many have been asking for for years:

The first release from the company will be:

56001 - Ordnance QF 2 Pounder British Anti-Tank Gun (Mark IX, Carriage type II)

The model will be in injection-moulded styrene and includes over 100 parts. NO crew figures are included, but the gun will be able to built in its towed or firing position.

With the 'Renaissance' that Early-War Allied Armor is enjoying, this new model will be very welcome in many sectors.

Details are, at the moment, sparse, but more will be coming out in the coming days!

Meanwhile, enjoy the images of this incredibly welcome release!

Hi Jim, Always good to see another manufacturer coming onto the market. This is a most welcome kit and looks pretty good, Glad to see they are starting off with something British :) . It holds out hope for a new 6pdr in plastic, another long over due kit. Now the all important question is will they provide anything to tow it with? :) Al

jimbrae SAID
Hopefully the next will be a 6-Pounder and as Alan says, some Prime-Movers are getting to be desirable objects as well... :)

I've always liked the look of this gun. It just presses all the right buttons. Just a shame armour outclassed it so quick. a little :[]-- but did the mount/carriage get used for any other weapons. It sort of reminds me of a 20mm AA mount I've seen somewhere (maybe post war and just...similar, but definitely allied) Tom

ALBOWIE SAID
I have to agree with this, it was the worlds premier AT gun for 39-41 and had no problem with German Armour up until the arrival of the later Pz III & IV's. Everyone assumes it was no good from the outset but it could kill almost all the deployed German Armour it faced with ease until the Germans stated to up armour and more significantly up gun their Pz III & IV which gave them the ability to standoffs and kill them. If this kit is reasonably priced I see a lot of these in the collection ...
