Tuning in for the show - cockpit already looks fab, incl. the mission-read elements! 👍🏻

I've uploaded more photos that document the build progress, which has been very slow. Sorry about that, but life keeps getting in the way. I've had a variety of health issues and I'm heading to the oncologist next week to set up a time for a biopsy on some nodes in my neck. Hopefully it's just related to a sinus infection I've been fighting and not the lymphoma coming back. Keeping my fingers crossed. Cheers, Bill

I used up a few bottles of semi-gloss white, but the Victor is now a "white whale." Thanks for the kind words on my health - I go in on Feb. 29 for a sinus surgery and tissue collection for biopsy. Fingers crossed. I tried to cross my toes but was unsuccessful... Cheers, Bill

Hope the biopsy doesn't find anything bad Bill.
The Victor looks excellent so far.

Oh, by the way - after two weeks (!) of testing my oncologist decided the biopsies were negative. Dodged another bullet.

Thanks mates. I've added a couple more photos that show the painting of the landing gear and air brake internals. I've also painted the wheels, gear doors and air brake petals (photos soon). Up next is to paint the dielectric panels on the underside as well as the H2S radome. Cheers, Bill

Two more photos added showing some detail painting. I'm off to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware tomorrow for a week of spending what's left of my retirement portfolio. Unfortunately there are no hobby shops anywhere near where we'll be. But the Air Mobility Command museum at Dover AFB should make up for that.

Nearing the finish line on this one. The stickers are all on, and I really like how they performed. Hardly any film outside the design, and they snuggled down nicely with the usual solvents. I didn't see any silvering. Next up will be a few coats of a semi-gloss clear, and then I can attach the remaining bits. It's been a long build, but it was interrupted several times. Next project will be smaller! Cheers, Bill

That is an exceptionally clean build and paintjob, I am super impressed with the decals too.

Thanks everyone. It took me more than a year to build it, but I think it was worth it. Now, where to put it? Cheers, Bill

I also wonder about the same question (where to put it), that's why mine is still in the box 🙂 . Beautifully done, Bill, congrats on such a great result. Please do share once you have an idea for how to show it off permanently 🙂

@Palo M - I have a display case large enough to hold it, but it's currently full! I've decided to get a smaller enclosed bookcase (like an IKEA Billy with glass doors) and move all my smaller models over to that. That will free up more than enough room. For now though, the Victor is in a large cardboard box awaiting its permanent home. Cheers, Bill

Thanks Bill! May I ask what kind of case it is? I'm familiar with Billy - I instead use an IKEA MILSBO glass vitríne for all of my models. I just can't find a decently priced one for larger models like this Victor, 1:48 F-111 or larger 1:32 planes. If you know the name of the display case, would appreciate the info.

Hi Palo, My big display case is a homemade custom one that I got from a local club member's estate after he passed away. It's really nice, with internal lights and some storage drawers at the bottom. Whoever made it knew his/her woodworking. Oh yeah, it weighs a ton. Cheers, Bill

I really have to question if the engineers at Revell now work for Boeing? This canopy doesn't fit together at all and it...

For a relatively new kit I am surprised on how much flash and fitting issues this kit has.

It's really hard for me to fight off the urge to correct the structural issues with this kit. But I promised myself I would make this one out of the box.

I've seen that promise before Skyhiker! 😂 Good luck keeping this one OOB! 😉👍🏼

Mate, I think you should put the windshield uspside down. The ángel does not cope with the real one as I see on photographs.
