Such a unique looking aircraft! Ugly, yet attractive at the same time. :hmm: This is looking very nice so far Bish!

Thanks guys. From what i have heard, al of these aircraft with the engines in the wing roots can be tricky. But if the Valiant and vulcan are designed like the Victor, it certainly take some of the stress out. The nimrod has some awkward seams but firtunatly i have some one piece resin replacments for that.

You're going to need a bigger shelf if you're doing all 3 V bombers and a Nimrod

Unfortunatly i don't have room for any more. The shelf for those is 140cm, but the Victor base will need to be bigger than i expected, 46cm. The Victor has the biggest wing span of the 3, but i don't think 94cm is going to be enough for the other 3. But i#ll have to worry about that when the time comes. When it comes to shelf space, but biggest concern is ships.

Boy don't I know that feeling mate. Good looking build my man.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Yeah, I know how that is. Two of my V bombers are on my ceiling already; my Victor is on a top shelf waiting for a new hook to be placed next to the other two. My Nimrod is still waiting to be built; I have no source for the hemp color and was looking to see if any other color could be used.

Beautiful work Martin!
