Again, just looking at the 'before and after' of the second of these photos shows the difference the attention to detail makes.

Molded ridge removed from the under side transparency !

Thanks Paul, they are difficult to work with at times, I had the canopy on then remembered I had some paint to touch up, so while it was off I took a couple of pic's, canopy back on with Future and the ailerons on the wing !

Modifying the nose leg, cut away the over size plastic and add some alloy tube with piano wire !

That attention to detail and confidence to cut away plastic and add in scratch parts sets your work apart, Allan. Great stuff as ever!

Looking at reference pic's I think the nose leg is just about right ! and the first bit of paint on the bomb.

Thanks Louis, the clear bits aren't always as good as they look in the pics !

Coming along very well Allan, been following along quietly, but really had to mention how well this is coming along, I don't have the Valiant but I do have the Revell/Matchbox Victor K2 with the High Flight update set and is quite extensive in detail with those added bits, that will be a long term project. Despite that I am so impressed with your progress I might go get the Airfix Victor as well. Quite motivating.
