    Hi Alan @kalamazoo, nice to see someone doing a jet bomber in this group, and one that was just a deterrent. I always preferred the looks of the Victor over the more popular Vulcan. It’s been five years since I posted my effort on iModeler, time flies. Which colour scheme are planning for this?

    I've done a little bit of assembly and painting, working on it slowly, more pic's to come.

    Great progress, my friend @kalamazoo! Still trying to figure out what the paint problem was... 🙂

    Yeah, Alan @kalamazoo, what was the problem with your paint. Glad to hear you’re going with the all over white finish because that’s how I remember seeing them. I had a cousin who was a RAF military policeman at the time and he managed to get me in to see them.

    Thanks Spiros, George and john, I think you all need your eyes tested, some of the top coat came away with the masking tape then the touch up came up rough and not as white !

    Seems like I need to get some new glasses 🙂 , Allan @kalamazoo
    It is visible now that you pointed it out.
    With your skills you will definitely get that fixed.

    Yep, touch ups tend at times to come different than the "surroundings", my friend @kalamazoo!

    Ah, Allan @kalamazoo, now I see (just), I must turn up the brightness on my screen. I’m sure you will remedy it OK.

    a bit more done, I've modified the air brakes so they can be assembled later and the nose leg will come out after painting.
