This
is my attempt at the Airfix 1/72 scale Vickers Valiant bomber. The kit
itself is quite easy to construct for such a large kit if you are building
it straight from the box, but I corrected some of the kits mistakes, which
included using the Alleycat resin intakes, changing the shape of the wing
tips and vertical tail, adding and replacing some panel lines, correcting
the main wheel bay doors, adding the vortex generators to top and bottom
of the horizontal tail, opening up the small intake on the side of the
fuselage, and some other smaller details.

The
model was primed using Tamiya white from the rattle can, which was micro
meshed down, this was then finished with Tamiya gloss white, Tamiya black
and Dark grey to finish the model, a clear coat of Johnsons Klear to seal
everything in.
The
model depicts, Vickers Valiant XD872 from RAF Honnington 90 Sqd 1963.
