A Sixth Modeling New Years Resolution Done.

[Duke Maddog]

Here is the 'new' Airfix Vickers Valiant model in 1/72 scale. I started this back in 2009 for the Orangecon Theme of British subjects. I had imagined bringing all three of my V-bombers to the contest, but this one didn't get done......until now.

I now have all three of Britain's V-bombers in my Royal Air Force.

To start, here is the bottom of the aircraft, showing the respectable bomb load this thing carries:

Here are two shots of it sitting on it's landing gear waiting for clearance to take off to patrol the ceiling:

This is how it looks from the top. This pic also shows how big this monster is:

Well, there it is. I am so glad that yet another Modeling New Years Resolution is completed. Now I can move on again. Thanks everyone for looking in, comments are welcome.

Thanks guys! You comments mean a lot to me. They keep me going. And yeah, it does feel good to get some long-term shelf queens finished. In some ways it's even more of an accomplishment since it was such a fight to get any progress on it in the first place.

James, I agree, this old bird looks great. I'm glad to finally have all three British V-bombers completed.

I can relate! I had started a number of projects before I got sick in 2009 and, I have managed tgo get a few of them finally done not too long ago. Hope to get a few more kits done in due time
