Airfix has published a Victor B.2 project update.
First test shots and assembly photos shared here.
The IPMS Telford announcement that Airfix intended to produce a new Handley Page Victor B.2 in 1/72nd scale was understandably met with great excitement amongst the modelling community and images of a mock-up model on the Airfix stand at Telford only served to heighten the anticipation.
Looking absolutely resplendent in its anti-flash white V-Bomber scheme, this model was possibly the most photographed exhibit at the 2015 show and allowed anyone lucky enough to see it to get an impression of just how impressive the new Airfix Victor kit would be.
As many modellers will have been following this project with interest, we are pleased to be in a position to show you the latest images from the new Victor B.2 tooling.
A12008 Handley Page Victor B.2 1:72 is currently scheduled for release in October 2016.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.

That's at least as shiny as the Valiant was. Now, Mr. Airfix, can we have a Vulcan to the same standard? I'm certain it'll sell.

Would love to see a 1/48th Vulcan with this level of detail! I remember the tease at the Airfiix booth of a 48th Vulcan. Hopefully eventually!
