Fifer54 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've got the Malta GB out of the way, so it's time to make a start on this one. It's the Airfix Vickers Valiant, to be built OOB, in the DG/MSG camo 207 Sqn option, mainly because I suspect that Anti-Flash White will be the finish of choice for the majority of Airfix Valiants, and I suck at big single-colour paint finishes! Here's a BIG box, And here's the plastic in said big box, Biggest thing I've built for a while . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'V' Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Another Valiant ...... great ! I suspect we can be 'lazy' modellers 'cos once you never saw many Vailants, the options of Contrail, or Mach2 didn't exactly give the confidence to do one !! Now it's the easiest to have a good OOB 'V' model you find 'em everywhere. Nothing wrong with that I say, I just love the classic simple lines that make this such an elegant looking model. I do however wish we had a quality Victor bomber, that is if you think any Airfix is a quality product. The old MB & Revell tanker is now the real beast to build.
