Devilfish Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Tomorrow at Newark Air Museum there is a V Bomber tribute event. As part of a display in have built the three bombers, in flight. As I'm waiting on glue to dry, this is the only one in a fit state to be photographed. It's the ubiquitous Revell/Matchbox kit, converted to B2 with a Freightdog conversion kit. Flightpath Resin intakes replaced the kit's ones, which are painfully inaccurate. Airdecal decals for 139 Sqn have been used. Overall, a horrible experience, which I never intend to repeat.... On to the pictures. 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I don't think I'd call the Victor a beautiful aircraft, but she is oddly graceful and you did a beautiful job! Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Excellent build and what a way to display your models, why can I not be creative like that ? Love it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Worth the effort, it's a grand job. The three together are a great achievement, nice one Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albamac Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 What's not to like of a trio of very elegant aircraft and the base mountings really set them off uniquely. I must confess to liking the Victor B2 in the Jamaica Squadron (139) markings and you are to be congratulated on a difficult build. Keep it up Sir.albamac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephLalor Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Smashing models with a really original presentation. The bases remind me of looking in the window of Birkett's electronics shop on The Strait in Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Brilliant. Love to see the V bombers in anti-flash white, original base display method too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widow 65 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Love all three of them, the pain you went through is not evident in the finished models, cracking tribute to the mighty "Vs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
