1/144 Handley Page Victor B.2 - 100 Sqn Royal Air Force - 1963


I've always loved the Victor, it's my favourite of the three V bombers and I reckon it's till looks modern today.

I built this as it looked like a quick and simple build. And it pretty much was. I learnt a couple of things for when I build another, next time will be a K.2 tanker refuelling a Vulcan.

I didn't bother weathering this as I wanted to finish it for the NSW model show at the start of May. I couldn't be bothered returning it after the show.
