V-bombers - 1:72 Airfix Valiant and Vulcan
Hi all. Been lurking for quite a while, enjoying all the builds and stories. Been intimidated by the quality, but have decided to post some of my builds. I categorize my builds by series - series one thru three. Series one, which I have yet to achieve, is a good looking kit at one foot. Most of my kits are series three - looking good a three feet. Striving for series two!
Have been doing a lot of building over last year. Took an early retirement/buyout from my job and now have loads of time to fiddle. Have noticed my skills are getting better.
I build almost exclusively 1:48, but decided to build 4 engine aircraft in 1:72. You will see a lot of British and Commonwealth kits from me. Don't know why but they speak to me.
So I start with two Airfix V-bombers. A Victor is on the pile! Plan is to build the anti- flash whites and then the camo versions of the three. Recently bought some more shelves! Enjoyed the kits. Vulcan is early Airfix version.
Hi Chris, these are very nice V bombers.
Congrats on these wonderful builds and your first entry in iModeler!
Hello Chris @champagnecrc and welcome! I joined this site two years ago and it has been nothing but fun and encouraging feedbacks.
I love both of these Airfix kits, especially the Valiant. You did a great job with them, these white schemes are both lovely and tricky to do!
You made a great entry to iModeler with those V-bombers, Chris @champagnecrc
Pretty sure you are going to like it here.
Welcome aboard.
Beautiful results of some big airplanes. Can't wait for more!
Hey Chris
They look great, look forward to seeing more of your builds
That's very nice work on that early Airfix Vulcan, which is no easy accomplishment. You should try the new one for the camouflaged one - you can take all the time you save in assmbly and apply it to the over/under scheme. 🙂
The Valiant looks good, too.
Both are excellent, Chris!
Welcome aboard!
Glad your not lurking any more Chris. Great builds and welcome to the site 🤪
Two very nice looking V-bombers! Well done.
Very nice Chris. Always difficult to weather solid colours particularly white. Both look great to me.
