Airfix 1/72nd Victor K.2 Op Black Buck Complete Page 2

Thanks G. Ye, i was surprised at that, still can't see in the back though.

Time to get the final pics up and wrap up this years modelling. The Victor was finished off by fitting al the wheels, tok a bit of fiddiling to get them all to touch down, but they do now,and got the side door fitted.

And then to attach it to the base. I added the ladder and some wheel chocks from Flightpath. The Land Rover is the Airfix 76th offering. I've had that a while, was meant for another build, but i thought it would work nicely here. I recently noticed that a UK company called Air Graphic has a range of 72nd resin Series III Lanny's in different configirations, so i've alreday bought a couple of those.

The tow bar is from Aircraft in Miniature, another UK company that sells through Hannants. I am still waiting for them to re-release their MD 3000 tractor and 60Kv GPU bother of which i will add once i get them. So the Lanny and tow bar are not secured to the base yet as i may need to re-position those. And as you can see, once again figures are the real issue, i can't find any that work for this. But hopefully i can source or modify somthing that will work. But for now, its done. And as you can see, its to big to fit in my photo booth properly, so sorry for the pics.

Thanks for looking. I'll be following this up with another Airfix Falklands war 72nd aircraft starting this weekend, the Harrier GR.3.Hopefully it won't take as long as this one.

I must say the plane and camouflage are both quite impressive. But what's most impressive is the size of that base!

Thanks Chad. Ye, i had not quite expected it to be that big. Fortunatly its the biggest of the V Bombers. Unfortunatly, the C-130 is bigger, which i found out after i got the Zvezda kit recently. Planning on putting in a wider shelf tucked out of the way.
