Airfix 1:72 Vickers Valiant




A late Christmas present arrived today from Amazon.com (no fault to Amazon I ordered late) The mighty Vickers Valiant from Airfix. Ay Caramba! this one is as big as my Tamiya Lancaster and it comes with it’s own nuke! How awesome isn't that? In the box you get 142 nicely moulded parts on six sprues and huge decal sheet printed by Cartograf with options for four different markings. Oh did I mention that this is a big bird? Yes I did, but not how big! this one has a wing span of half a meter in 1:72 scale, impressive. (OK I admit not as impressive as Monogram’s B-52). I’m going to build option A, a Valiant Mk.1 in all white from operation Grapple of course, it’s Christmas after all.
