Aimee'sDad Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 You have no idea how jealous I am of these three. I know the Vulcan is everyone's favourite but personally I prefer the Valiant!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 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. It should. That's where I got them from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 You have no idea how jealous I am of these three. I know the Vulcan is everyone's favourite but personally I prefer the Valiant!. After this weekend, it became evident that it is most people's favourite. Spoke to a pair of ex-Valiant Armourers. Got some really good info off them about this particular aircraft, and Valiants in general. Apparently, when the refueling probe wasn't fitted, they hammered a red wooden bung in the hole.....

Meatbox8 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 A fantastic looking Victor, surely one of the most space-age looking aircraft of all time. All that work certainly paid off. The Vulcan and Valiant look terrific too. I really do like V-Bombers in anti-flash white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 A wonderful conversion of the Victor I had planned to do this and also have the same AirDecal markings, but have never mustered the courage to do it. Now I'll be getting the new Airfix kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Lovely builds and a great way to display them. I have a Mirage IIIO Master warning panel that I now have a use for ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) A wonderful conversion of the Victor I had planned to do this and also have the same AirDecal markings, but have never mustered the courage to do it. Now I'll be getting the new Airfix kit. A wise decision, if I may say so..... The scary thing is, someone asked me to build all the Victors (and Vulcans) that took part in the Black Buck raids......

Booty003 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Stunning work, a few pictures of them all together would be terrific. Well done that man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scary thing is, someone asked me to build all the Victors (and Vulcans) that took part in the Black Buck raids...... Geez, tell him you would only do it if you got winning lottery ticket number. Building a single Vulcan and Victor K2 is bad enough. But ALL of them?!?! I would say only if it were done in say 1/200 scale and mounted to the refuelling chart to show how many Victor to Victor refuellings it took to put one Vulcan over Port Stanley.But I don't believe anyone even does a 1/200 Victor. Love these models and the display bases. Are there plans to put these on permanent display in a museum somewhere? They look that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
