I’ll make up them lightenjng bolts for the nose which look black but could be dark blue. I think the might have been dark green. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think Kader had made the short nose but actually it seems they have made a B1 nose with the prototype canopy. Either way it will look ace. I’ll proably do this one as a camo one now im doing the Mikro Mir in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albamac Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi Rob, I have been following with great interest the building of HP Victor B1 XA923. The nose flashes whilst serving with the RRF at RAF Wyton were green apparently, looking at some old photos. Seeing XA923 being built was a blast from the past for as I served at RAF Gaydon 1962-64 spending some time on "A" Squadron. XA923 was a familiar sight on the dispersal pans along with XA926, XA935,XA936 etc and were in the anti- flash markings with a pink "A" displayed on the fin but on odd Victor was still in the Type "D" roundels with a red "A" fin flash. I look forward to seeing the Vulcans and Victors on your QRA pans during Exercise Mickey Finns which were a regular occurrence at RAF Gaydon. Keep up the excellent work.
