Operation Black Buck 1 - Bracket 4 1/144 scale


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

Much like the bus analogy, I haven’t posted In ages and then two come at once!

 

This Is the build I completed for my model club Falklands war 40th anniversary group build competition. It is the Great Wall hobby Vulcan and the Anigrand Victor (my first resin kit!). Vulcan went together no issue, decals were a bit rubbish however. The Victor was a little more work… having never handled a resin kit before it was a bit of a shock to the system to say the least, but very proud that I completed it! The Vulcan is the infamous XM607 and the Victor is XL189, the aircraft involved in the last refuelling bracket prior to the attack on port Stanley airfield. I used the excellent XM607 book by Rowland White, highly recommended!

 

I hope you enjoy :) It was something a bit different for me and I definitely enjoyed making it!

Cheers,

 

Ash!

 

N.B - I am fully aware that the GWH Vulcan depicts a Olympus 200 series engined aircraft, rather than a 300 series aircraft, so the model looks ‘wrong’ for XM607. But it doesn’t bother me 🤫

Thanks everyone for their kind comments :)

 

- unfortunately gents I cannot take credit for the base! It’s from Basic Bases.

Lovely stuff! The water is particularly effective in setting off the tableau.

Wow, that's awesome!

 

Excellent fit and finish on both models. Fine work on the sea surface.

Fantastic build!

 

I have thought about doing this one myself some day, this is really well executed! 👍

Thankyou! Perhaps a 1/72 version? 😉
