SPA Modeler

Given recent events, I must be out of my mind, but the parts count is manageable and it is a bit out of what is being built or will be built in this GB.
Here a few shots:

Handley Page Victor K Mk. 2 by Revell Germany 1/72 scale.

Decals:



Couple of pages from the instructions:





And, the sprues:

WOOHOO!!!! Nice choice Lyle - I had a feeling it was going to be that or the Hustler.

It should be a good build, although it's in a Revell box it looks like a repop of the old Matchbox kit. Funny I was only thinking of getting one myself yesterday.

Looking forward to this one!

Brilliant choice Lyle! I built one of those in the past. Looking great!

Yup... just what the doctor ordered... you really won’t go wrong with a Revell Germany kit.

Thanks Mark and Carlos! I’ll take the “you can’t go wrong...” as a personal challenge!

Very nice choice! I've been wanting to get one of those. And the Vulcan too!

Ok I'll bite. Just not sure which one to do....

I'm looking forward to seeing this Lyle. I've actually sat in a Victor years ago when I was studying Aeronautical Engineering at College - it was a bit of an eye opener. Where the crew would bail out was right in front of the wing root intakes!

The old Matchbox Victor is a great kit so you shouldn't have too many issues with it. Yes there are some Issues and people will tell you you need to change this and modify that - but ignore all that. OOB it's a great looking model.

Which scheme are you going for?

Cheers!

Thanks Stuart. Bailed in front of the intake, huh? Oh boy...

Thank you, Tom. That was my plan, too...until I got sidetracked.

Oh the Victor is a good looking big one!
