Welsh Models has released a 1/144 resin kit of the Vickers Viking 1B

This resin kit from Welsh Models has additional metal props and undercarriage. The livery depicts a Viking in service with Eros Airlines. The decals are produced by Cranc.

The Vickers VC.1 Viking was a British twin-engine short-range airliner derived from the Vickers Wellington bomber and built by Vickers-Armstrongs Limited at Brooklands near Weybridge in Surrey. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Viking was an important airliner with British airlines pending the development of turboprop aircraft like the Viscount. An experimental airframe was fitted with Rolls-Royce Nene turbojets and first flown in 1948 as the world's first pure jet transport aircraft. Not the greatest safety record for the Viking. Off the 163 built 56 aircraft were lost in accidents. Military developments were the Vickers Valetta and the Vickers Varsity
