White giants, easy build? Airfix 1/72 Victor & Vulcan

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Homogeneously painted models bring a promise of an easy build. Yet, overall white paint cover is a wolf in a sheep skin. Not only that the model requires repeated coating to cover the darker colored plastic, but also extra care to [...]

Revell 1/72 Victor K2

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The Revell Victor is a 1982 Matchbox 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 [...]

by Leslie Wiggett on September 11, 2022 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hello fellow modelers, This is my first time on this site so I hope it all goes to plan with regards to colour scheme advise from members for my Victor. Yes I have made the mistake of having the Revell kit bought for me as a Xmas gift [...]

Free Handley Page Victor! 1:1 scale

by Josh Patterson on March 31, 2020 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Well, you folks know how I like big models? I submit this! If it can get to the States it would probably be allowed to fly. (Provided the corrosion is repairable.) Would make a nice stablemate for XS422 down at Stennis! Who wants to help [...]

by Leszek Golubinski on April 5, 2019 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

GWH kit with Shelf Oddity details and refueling probe & pitots from Master. This is XL164 B.2, Blue Steel aircraft. Modelled without Blue Steel. With no evidence to the contrary I assumed that when no missile was carried, the bomb bay [...]

1/72 Handley Page Victor B.2 (BS), RAF100 Group Build, 1960’s.

by John Healy on December 18, 2018 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This is the recent Airfix kit, released in 2016. I built it pretty much straight from the box except for the addition of PE detail to the airbrakes. This is a prominent visual feature of the Victor and benefited from Eduard’s brass etch. [...]

RAF100: Airfix 1/72 Handley-Page Victor B. Mk. 2

by Tom Cleaver on November 9, 2018 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Following the success of the wartime Halifax, Handley Page began looking at jet power for bombers; a tail-less swept wing design became their pet project, which got the interest of the Air Ministry and in early 1947 an official [...]

by George Williams on June 1, 2017 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

Fans of a certain BBC TV sitcom will recognise the headline! It is, of course, the Handley Page Victor B. Mk 2 (BS). The Victor was a jet powered strategic bomber, which, alongside the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant, formed an [...]
