I have long wanted to build a Victor SR.2 in 543 Sqn mks from RAF Wyton, my local airfield. I had begun work on a conversion from the Matchbox K.2 but that project stalled and remains on the shelf of doom. Following release of the lovely Airfix B.2 I would imagine this forms a much easier basis for a conversion to the recce variant being that it has the correct wingspan and no need to remove the centreline HDU. Does anyone know whether the SR.2 can be built from the box 'as is' and if not do you think it likely that Airfix may issue an SR.2 conversion like they did for the recce Valiant? I am aware that the major difference would be to create the camera arrays and extra fuel tank in the bomb bay but I would be content to leave this closed as it looks like a major scratch build beyond my skill level. So if not displaying the camera bay open what other changes would I need to consider? Mark
