Gustavo Antonelli Hi! What do you think? Should I build it, or collect it?

Roland Sachsenhofer The Vickers Valiant project will run alongside the B-47. It´s a nice comparison for me, as both planes share nearly the same dimension, purpose and the decade of their deployment.
The Valiants cockpit section is refined with Eduards interior set- nothing except the seat harnesses will be seen on the finished model. Therefore painting and detailing was done restrained.
It´s odd, but I have to say, Hasegawas old kit show better fit of parts than the recent Airfix kit dos.

Dave Jones loving this so far

Roland Sachsenhofer Thank you Dave!

Chris U Part 2 of my v-force touched down today. The Airfix H-P Victor -part 3- hopefully arriving next week

gorbygould All three 'V' Bombers! Is this an early Christmas present for yourself Chris?

Chris U Not really gorbygould , just happened to win an auction on ebay for the Valiant (£62 including a Revell Victor - that I'll sell - and P&P). And just awaiting for my supplier to take delivery of the new Airfix Victor.

Ekki Watching ...

Bill Gilman Pictures, please! Love those Valiants!

John Zaranek If you never buy another kit in your life, you MUST buy this one by Airfix...for such a large kit it practically fell together. Let me see what I can scrounge as far as photos go

Bill Gilman Oh, I've got the kit, along with the old Matchbox Victor and the Airfix Vulcan. I've been collecting all the proper aftermarket stuff (resin intakes and wheel wells, PE, etc.) before I get started on any of them.

John Zaranek I have those kits as well (in fact, two of the Vulcans). I'm new to this site and just uploaded the only pic of the Valiant I have.

Bill Gilman Ah, I saw your model at Noreastcon! Very nice indeed! I did not judge that category as I was entered in it (Sea Vixen). Are you from the IMPS Niagara Frontier chapter?

John Zaranek Yes I am, Bill and congrats on your first place win for the Vixen...it was very sharp! I am the current prez of the club.

Rolf Blattner Can we see the finished model somewhere on the net ?

Urban Gardini That's the one with the atomic bombs.

Augie thats urban, How much would you want for the bombs?

Urban Gardini Free of charge...

Augie Thank you Urban, At least let me pay postage

Urban Gardini Just PM me your adress n' I'll post 'em to you. They're glued together if I recall it correctly. I got the kit as a hand me down from a friend who stopped buildin' when his wife passed two years ago n' he had started on it. I'll build it some day but it will be in O.D. complete with sassy nose art.

Augie Cool thanks... Errrmm... Soon as i figure how to PM..

Urban Gardini Just make a post on my wall n' mark it as private.

Augie ahh cool

Tim Vereecke very nice Valiant, it is nice to see the Airfix Valiant being built that fast

JKS Nice work Ted!

Steely Chia I've been waiting for this for some time, not wanting to buy Mach 2. Hows the kit?

Tigers! Tigers! your right on the mach 2 kit, will make up nice if you have the time and the high price they sell for S/H, if you want this one youll be pleased with the overall kit it has some nice options and looks quite accurate, lines are a tad deep but a coat of primer should fill them. the wells are detailed and only need a little plumbing, makes up in to a large A/C and feels quite sturdy the decals are a little suspect but i will have a good look at it over the weekend and post little review but at first glance i would reccomend this one, ohh and as a good point well for me at least is its in a good sturdy box so well done airfix!

Steely Chia looks like i have no choice but to add this to my stash .....

Tigers! Tigers! yep its well worth the cash if youv the display room!

Steely Chia hehe...the vulcan, victor and nimrod really need the company
