I knew about the carrots, read about it when I was researching for the original Victor build all those years ago. Love the V bombers !

Tis indeed and does look more British old boy  :thumbsup: ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Captain Canada

lol Thanks Chris ! I'm going to touch up the pattern a wee bit, and once I add some big ol' roundels I'm sure she'll be right at home.

I can't help feeling the carrots should be painted orange...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

wasted a bunch of time yesterday with the undercart. I decided to use that of the Victor kit. painting, cleaning up, gluing....and when I finally decided to check them against the aeroplane I realized the wheels were way too small ! D'oh  :banghead:

Yes, but there's LOTS of them.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Ya for sure, but they just looked wrong. I'm going to try for a 4-wheeled main bogey set with a twin wheel nose gear, but if I can't find the parts I'll go pairs all the way around.

That looks rather purposeful. Awesome! If not epic.  :thumbsup:

I'm going this route on my Avro Atlantic Todd, mind it is in 1/72 and I'm using Nimrod wheels. Had to extend where the front axle is though --

Somat similar to that for sure, Robert.

I managed to source part of the underwing load yesterday, going with the centerline MERs from the old Monogram F-105 kit. The 750 lb. bombs with their fuses cut off are a close enough match to the old GPB to me, especially once they get some paint on them.

Couldn't find my bog o' wheels anywhere..... :banghead:

So what happened to this one?
I was enjoying it so much.. I dragged out an ancient Lindberg 1/96th Victor kit - to compare a 1/48th F.6 with, it appears to be a 'natural'..

Captain Canada

Right on ! It's just such a good looking pairing eh ? Like all of my projects, it seems as tho Spring rolled around and off to the shelf of doom she went ! I know where it is, so once I'm able I'll pull down the box and see where we're at !
