Beautiful. Finish is top notch. This is my favorite v- bomber. This is on my stack and this gives me a push to proceed. Nice job on the intakes too!
Thank you Chris, glad you like it, I look forward to seeing yours.
Holy Moly that's a lot of white paint, but with all the hassle I have with white your Victor looks well worth the trouble.
Impressive build, Allan.
Whenever I see the Victors tail, I always see a smaller complete delta winged aircraft mounted on a bigger aircraft.
Thank you George, it was worth the troubles I had, the tail planes on large aircraft are as big as a small ones wings !
An impressive result, Allan! Fantastic build thread, too!
Thank you Spiros, and for following !
Great Victor, Allan, my favourite V-bomber, too.
Thank you George, I like all three, must do the Vulcan to complete the set !

A fine looking Victor, Allan @kalamazoo
Not that easy to get such an amount of white paint applied this nicely. Well done.
Thank you John, it is tricky !
Great British design!
If you are going to do all three V-bombers I think you must add a VC-10 tanker plane as well. Did any of the VC-10 ever fly from a RAAF base?
Thank you Stellan, the Aussie connection is the only reason I do them !
VC10 K3 ZA147 F made a fastest non stop flight from Brize Norton to Perth in 1987, 914.07 km/h in 15hr 53min, 16hr 10min airborne, refueled twice from a VC10 K and a Lockheed Tristar.
Nice work, Allan. I really enjoyed that kit.
Thanks John.
This one came out really well, Allan (@kalamazoo). It was fun following the build. Maybe you can get another and do a hypothetical air show paint scheme and add it to you airshow collection.
Thank you George, I don't do what ifs.
Beautiful work, Allan, Is that Anti-radiation white?
Thank you Robert, it should be !
Love the V-bombers - such a unique combination of designs. Yours looks fantastic - well done!
Thank you Greg, they are !
