Description
This Avro Vulcan B.Mk 2 represents RAF XM655 in its classic camouflage finish, one of the most recognisable silhouettes of the V-bomber era. The sweeping delta wing and Cold War nuclear deterrent role give this aircraft a strong historical identity and unmistakable display presence.
A standout addition to any RAF or Cold War aviation collection, especially for shelves focused on larger British jet aircraft. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy iconic military aviation subjects in 1:144 scale.

Condition
Model Condition - Near Mint (9/10)
The model does not appear to have been displayed. However, there is a small blemish mark on the top of the fuselage in the grey paint, so it is described as near mint condition. The model may have been taken out of the box for inspection, as the blister packing has a crack in it.
Box condition - Excellent (8/10)
The box is in excellent condition for its age. There is some minor crushing to the back and light wear areas on the sides.
Photographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections. Buy with confidence, what you see is exactly what you get.
Any imperfections are shown in the images and description. Refer to the grading tab for more details. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Grading
Grading Criteria
Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.
Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.
Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.
Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.
Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.
Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.
Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.
Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.
If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
