zebra Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Two Roden VC10s, built for the airliner group build - British Airways Super VC10 G-ASGL and British Caledonian VC10 type 1103 G-ASIX. The BA Super is straight from the box. G-ASIX obviously needed more work - main changes are the fuselage was shortened, wingtip leading edge extensions and outboard wing fences added from plastic card, and Braz engines. WIP threads here and here Not my best photos - would normally photograph them outside, but not the weather for it today! Might take more on a better day.

BIG X Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Really nice I think I heard on a documentary recently that very few were actually built - that came as a huge surprise - about 50 or less??? Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Gorgeous Tens! In answer to a couple of questions raised above, just 54 were built and it was the second fastest airliner, only Concorde could beat her! Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Two beautiful models of a very beautiful aircraft. I only flew on one once, it felt quite small inside, but was a great experience. Lovely colour schemes here perfectly executed! TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbag Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I know one is a standard, but to me they are both Super. Lovely looking aircraft and equally nice models. Chris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks everyone for your kind comments Building these really reminded me what a beautiful aircraft the VC10 was - its a shame economics trumps looks when it comes to aircraft sales, or there'd have been many more VC10s than 707s! Big X - wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere has built them all - I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are on BM (and might just have a look and see) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
