In 1964 the role of the V-bombers was changed from high to low-level penetration of enemy airspace and equipped with the Blue Steel standoff bomb.  XL513 Victor B.2R No. 139 Squadron, RAF Wittering, 1964.

 

 

 

 

 

I used the housing and Blue Steel missile from the old Airfix Vulcan, wing tips and some aerials from the new Airfix Victor, Vallejo and Humbrol acrylics.

Thanks for looking.

Just completed this vignette of the Victor landing.

The parachute was made from tissue, soaked in PVA and formed around a balloon and the cords are cotton, stiffened in PVA.

 

 

 

 

The Blue Steel missile and housing are from the old Airfix Vulcan. Wing tips, tail ECM and aerials from the new Airfix Victor and additional aerials from scratch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Completed in Vallejo Model Air, Vallejo Model Colour, AK Interactive and Humbrol acrylics.
Thanks for looking.
