ScottC Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Here is my Airfix Victor B.2 that I finished over a year ago but never got round to posting When it came to which Victor to model there was only one choice for me and that's XL231. Been a member of the team who maintain XL231 at the Yorkshire Air Museum the choice was simple. I added Eduard's excellent pre painted etch to the cockpit and despite the fact that much of it can't be seen it did give the cockpit a very much real look to it. The model represents 231 as she was as a Blue Steel aircraft of the Wittering wing.

Lord Riot Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) That's beautiful! Fantastic build of a wonderful looking aircraft. I've got one Airfix Victor in my stash but I need another so I can do one white and one camo. How was the build, is it a nice and fairly simple build? What grey did you use for the upper surface?

Hi Lord Riot No real problems with the build only thing I would say if your doing a camo version paint the wrap around of the camo in the intakes before assembly it would be a major headache to paint after. The upper surface grey is Xtracrillic Dark sea grey. ScottC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
