jeaton01 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Can't build a Victor without showing it on Britmodeler, eh? It's a pretty good kit, but is a lot of work to get to the finish line. Aftermarket resin wheels and some Eduard PE in the cockpit. XL189, the ship that gave the Black Buck One Vulcan it's final load of fuel before the attack on Port Stanley, giving the Vulcan enough fuel but leaving itself 3 hours short of range to get back to Ascension Island. Luckily, it was met by another Victor before the crew got wet. Bob Tuxford was the pilot on XL189 on that mission.

woody37 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Lovely build, still got one to do here. For some reason, the images don't show for me, I just get 'spacer.png' links that I have to click on then click on the little icon in the middle when it opens up.

mouse808 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Alas Johns site is not being served over "https", and thus the forum thinks it's "insecure". @jeaton01 you can get an SSL cert for free these days @ https://letsencrypt.org/ But back on topic Fantastic Victor! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 That’s absolutely gorgeous, what a superbly painted Victor. Looks brilliant in camo with the 57 Sqn badge too. Does the kit fit together well? Any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 No problem seeing the pictures here - and what beautiful pictures they are! I have this kit (even pre-ordered it directly from Airfix and paid handsomely to ship it across the pond) and yet I haven't started it yet. Maybe it can be my New Year's resolution. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Unfortunately I cannot see them for some reason... BTW - a bit more that a week ago I've visited the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington and for the first time seen the real Victor there. This is a magnificent plane...
