U
I purchased this victor kit quite some time ago. If anyone sees the same and is considering it as a build please take my advice.....DO NOT BUY!!!! The kit is shocking quality! It doesn't fit together good , the mould is very thin plastic that looks like if you apply hot glue you will be left with a pool of liquified plastic. The design is wrong by way of pylons and cockpit panels but I know I purchased and at the time it was an impulse buy that was cheap and my interest in modelling then was not as serious then as I am now about achieving the best looking end product.
My query is as you can see the decals and guidance for painting are very vague and basic. I would have liked to have gone for the tanker days look with the brown white colour all over(don't know the exact colour name) but because of the lack of refuelling parts it's going to look out of place so it will be as on the box , the low level bomber . I just wanted some tips on the detail like undercarriage and additional details like access panels, flaps, air brakes etc that will hopefully make the best of a cheaply manufactured kit. Tried searching the forum and not seen any builds so if anyone can gine me some pointers or links that I can build up some kind of plan.
