Bombing them back to the stone age.


The Avro Vulcan B2 was a staple element of Britain's nuclear deterrent during the early stages of the Cold War, and also famously took part in the Falklands War, bombing Port Stanley airport from bases in the UK, a journey of nearly 4,000 miles to target. Seeing one of these things fly is a lesson in Awesome. Ed Diment (LEGO Monster) has faithfully recreated a Vulcan bomber in LEGO form - capturing the many varied subtle curves of the wings, the fuselage and the camouflage scheme in exquisite detail. Check the complete set of pictures to see the working landing gear, the bomb bay doors and the cockpit - you won't be disappointed.
