Didn't the prototype Victor displayed at Farnborough sport a rather fetching colour scheme? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/76/94/f5/7694f52bb3e8f714b3a883da5d613ea0.jpg

The prototype Victor may have looked like that, but this is the Victomic.

I've added the blue.

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

What, the 1775 sloop captured from the British during the US Revolutionary war?

No, the Roman war galley of the same name surely? Look, it even has a little ramming prow!  :wacko:

Oooooooh, MOST impressive!  :thumbsup:

I like the little radiation markings, not something you see very often on ANY models!
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! :)

Thanks Kit.

Radiation warning symbols were required by the Air Registration Board before Handley Page were allowed to put it on ground display at Farnborough following its demonstration flights.  The public were allowed to walk around and under the aircraft which had inspection panels opened so they could get a good close view of all the reactor plumbing.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Really impressive. Only thought is would it not have a serial number, even if in "civilian" hands?
