To the "Victor,Goes the Spoils" Chucks Airfix B.Mk.2 *Fini*
I have been saving my new Airfix Victor for this very build. My "V Bomber" collection will now be complete! I just finished the old Vulcan last month and the Valiant when it was first released. To go with my previous anti-flash trio, this kit will carry the markings for a Anti-Flash white Victor flown by No.139 Squadron out of RAF Witterng from 1963-64. The kit will be built out of the box with the addition of an Eduard 'Zoom' cockpit set and canopy masks.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Excellent choice Chuck and a build that will be of interest to many on here who have this in their stash
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Finished the pre-painting of cockpit and other internal parts. I will add pictures later today. On to the Build!
On a side note, I had to change my contact email to a new ISP as the one saved with this site was hacked and began sending out hundreds of phishing emails.

I did a little work with the cockpit. Once again, the Eduard team do themselves credit with their zoom sets. Now, on to the main build.

A little work ?? Got to admit considering the kit, the a/m, and your highlighting, that interior really pops !! A shame to hide it.Chuck Finley wrote:I did a little work with the cockpit. Once again, the Eduard team do themselves credit with their zoom sets. Now, on to the main build.

Love the dry brushing and that instrument panel!

Thanks, for me the photoetch was prepainted and was only a little work by my standards. I am a firm believer in better modelling by pocketbook. There is more glass than the Vulcan and I plan on leaving the entrance door open so you can see some of the cockpit.

The basic build was finished within the last hour. I will wait until the morning to let the glue to completely dry before attaching the clear parts. The plan is to add a couple coats of Testors Flat White and then Sovereign Colorcoat's Anti-Flash White. One thing I learned during this build. Do not glue the pilot and co-pilot ejection seats until AFTER you glue the instrument panel. It was a pain to follow the directions and I used a few expletives at that stage :P

Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

No, just a public school teacher on Summer vacation. Two months of sitting back and doing some builds. So far, I have built two Car door Typhoons from Brengun, a Pzkpfw IIL Luchs from Flyhawk, a Merkava Mk.IV by Hobby Boss, and a Revell repop of the USS Hornet (angle deck Essex class carrier), all since the start of June.
I added the first flat white overcoat and will add a second in morning. While the paint dries, I plan on starting a Mig YE-152 "Flipper" this afternoon.
