I am still trying to decide which of the two appropriate (but very faded) decal schemes to use - either 232 OCU (Marham 1975, scheme #3 below), or No. 55 Sqn (Marham 1979, scheme #1 below).

Rest assured that this vintage plastic model, of a vintage V-bomber to tanker conversion, will qualify for this GB!

An excellent subject choice :speak_cool: Nice to see the classic Matchbox kit get some love after all the hype the Airfix one has taken.

OK.  It has been a bit of time since I last updated this, but I'm on leave this week.

Loving this lump of multicoloured retro plastic. There are enormous gaps in some of the joins. but it is still great fun to build.
