Victor landing gear

I don’t think so on either count, the centre-plane section of the Victor wing didn’t change much between the two marks so there was no additional volume available for a bigger undercarriage, even though a fully-loaded Mk. 2 weighs in at over 75 tons more than a Mk. 1.  Handles Page must have been thinking ahead when the HP. 80 started its progress across their drawing boards.

Just another quick Victor question, was the landing gear on the Victor mk1 the same as the Victor mk2? 

And if they were different would it be noticeable in 1/144?

The same.

Good good so I can use a metal landing gear set for the GWH Victor on a Mikromir Victor if I can get it to fit. The mikromir one has overly complicated gear and I just can't be done with building that

That photographer and a couple of others are worth following as they seem to get superb access and pictures of XH648 being restored.

 

In 1/144 you gotta be kidding me lol

Maybe for 1/72
