the usaf found themselves in need of a medium/heavy bomber for more subtle/precise missions than 1 million b52s. they intended to use the hustler but they had too many issues with it so they decided to loan some vulcan b2s from the raf
the decals were a pig and just fell to bits so this is as good as i could do
Now that’s different. Look good in that scheme.
Nice work! Its odd seeing a Vulcan in SEA camo.
Now thats interesting!
Wow! Never saw a Vulcan in US service. Never even knew they were loaned to the USAF. Great job!
Great “what if” scheme
Nitpick: USAF roundel on the wrong side.
A SAM will blow a Vulcan apart.
No offense .
Looks very good
Excuse my spelling
well yeah although it MIGHT be more survivable than a b52 due to the huge strength of the wing.
ps i now know the roundels on the wrong wing, i had to guess and got it wrong and because all the decals broke into pieces i aint movin it now lol
“In the early 1980s, Argentina approached the UK with a proposal to buy a number of Vulcans. An application, made in September 1981, requested the ‘early availability’ of a ‘suitable aircraft’. With some reluctance, ministers approved the export of a single aircraft but emphasised that clearance had not been given for the sale of a larger number. A letter from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office to the Ministry of Defence in January 1982 stated that little prospect was seen of this happening without ascertaining the Argentine interest and whether such interest was genuine: 'On the face of it, a strike aircraft would be entirely suitable for an attack on the Falklands. Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands less than three months later.”- wikipedia
A pretty reasonable what-if, esp. since Martin was license building copies of the English Electric Canberra.
About the same load as two F-105s. One issue would have been refueling as the USAF generally used “innies”, the RAF “outies”.
The USAF uses the boom system, The USN, USMC, and US Army use hose and probe. Putting a boom receiver on a Vulcan would not be too difficult, also refueling from USMC KC-130 would be possible if the Vulcans operated from Thailand like B-52 did later in the war.
i never knew that thanks for the info
this was a quicky refurb of a kit rescued from somebodies bin so i didnt put a huge amount of research into it 
The Vulcan could still be used for raids over the Ho Chi Mihn Trail, and carpet bombing. The SAM were mostly in North Vietnam.
