Then I would suggest you get your butt into gear matey 😉 😜

This is already looking bloody cool 😎 👌

Thanks for the encouragement  , I have made a start now, but I was thinking a Coastal Command scheme, but I'll need to buy all the colours

The Vickers Viking airliner was a direct derivative of the Wellington, the original Viking 1A version retaining fabric covered geodetic structure wings outboard of the engines. New all-metal wings were introduced on the production standard Viking 1.

One Viking 1B was modified to mount two Nene engines.

You can think of it as encouragement or as a out right order   
These sorts of builds have to happen ..they are just to cool not to be 
As for the CC colours I brought the Vallejo CC colour set for my Tigercat...only to find the scheme I wanted to paint didn't include the colours I needed 
Yet it's on the sheet of colour schemes you get with the paint set ..oh got even more Vallejo paint now

Thats a very good looking jet, my engines aren't quite as sleek but it will have nice floats  , many thanks for the info

Do someone remember the matchbox model build contest in the seventies ?
I was the cup winner in my town at 1977,  with that wellington kit

I do remember that model ..one I have never built so I'm looking forward to this 😀

Any photos of your winning build?

I've never made an un-messed-about-with version either, feel a bit bad about that really

The first cut is the hardest, it gets easier.
