ivan ferrando Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The model was built straight from the box, except for pitot tubes which are made with Albion alloy tubes. I airbrushed a first coat of Alclad Primer, then a soft preshading and different coats of white. All colours are Gunze expect metallic parts After decals and a coat of clear I did a washing for panel lines, and some filters for weathering with oil colours. The white camouflage was more difficult than I thought! The results is a little bit “orange skin” Decals are from XTradecals sheet Before take photos I forgot to remove the masking tape from underside cockpit windows..... 😞 sorry for the background..... 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of the V-bombers had their own forms of beauty but I do think that the Victor had the most interesting and charismatic shape - It always reminds me of 50's sci fi movies.

Mark Joyce Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Great build and weathering! I really like the back-quarter photo you took that shows the rear of the jet engines, which I think shows off your work nicely. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all the V Bombers but I think the Victor is the most 'space-age' looking of the three so gets my vote. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although having worked on the Victor for 3 years before her retirement, at the airfield the Vulcan practiced over every lunchtime in the summer I might be biased. Best looking, best sounding and best performing of the V-bombers. She was the most versatile and longest flying in active service, and nothing else comes close. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Malcolm Another member of team Victor here! I've been pondering my next kit and I may be leaning this way now. Lovely model Ivan, does the kit go together well? I'm an assembler and a modeller but I'm not a sculptor or a plasterer so I try and avoid anything that needs a lot of filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigbeale Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Absolutely stunning result. Very, very well done! 😍😍😍 I’ve also got a Victor in the stash - a Revell K2 Tanker rebox of Matchbox - but after seeing the raised panel lines and the fact it’s a filler queen means I’ve yet to work up the courage to tackle it🤯 Edited December 11, 2020 by Brigbeale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
