Handley Page Victor K.2

Calling this one done. Part of the current Falklands War Group Build.

This is XL189, the ship that gave the Black Buck One Vulcan it's final load of fuel before the attack on Port Stanley, giving the Vulcan enough fuel but leaving itself 3 hours short of range to get back to Ascencion Island.  Luckily, it was met by another Victor before the crew got wet.  Bob Tuxford was the pilot on XL189 on that mission.

Thanks,

Nice work, especially on the camo. Looks like you've done this kit justice, thanks for posting it.
