Revell 1/72 Victor K2

The is a 1982 mold that builds into an impressive model. Yet, much work is required to eliminate the seam trenches. The engine intakes area is particularly problematic. Also the exhaust area is crudely molded. I adapted spares from the kit to represent the exhausts.

  1. Nice build of a size beast of a kit.

  2. Very nice looking Victor, Rafi @blackmopane
    Not the easiest kit but you definitely got the most out of it.

  3. Excellent build of a definitely challenging kit, Rafi!

  4. Great Victor, Rafi. That’s a difficult kit to make look good. Try an Airfix Victor if you want another one. The intakes are really well designed.

  5. Of the three V-bombers the Victor is my favourite, sorry Vulcan fans, you’ve made a great model from the old Matchbox kit, Rafi.

  6. Well, you certainly turned that moth-eaten woollen ski mask into a nice - dare I say excellent? - model. A triumph of talent and skill over plastic.

  7. Gotta love the V-bombers! I'm also partial to the Victor - such a weird nose shape - unique! Looks great.
