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

Robert Podkoński
Joining the party!

Zbynek Honzik
That looks like an awesome ride! I'll take the seat!

Bill Gilman
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

Robert Podkoński
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too, Bill. Great job on the model btw. Keep it up!

Zbynek Honzik
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well with your health, Bill. 🍀

Nicolas
I also keep my fingers crossed that everything will be fine with your health.

Bill Gilman
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.

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

Guy Rump
Looking great following. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Good to hear this, Bill. Carry on!

James C
Looking fantastic 👍

Ekki
Missed this one.
Following.

Nicolas
Great news Bill.

Rando
Love the Victor but even more glad to hear the good news!

Bill Gilman
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

Augie
Love the work so far 🙂 watching in my usual seat.

Bill Gilman
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.

Michael Kohl
Very nice progress so far.

Bill Gilman
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

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

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful plane, Bill! Chapeau bas!

gorby
Amazing model of a remarkable aircraft!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work on this unique subject.

Bill Gilman
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

Rando
Beautiful work, sir!!

Palo M
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 🙂

Ekki
Brilliant result! Very well done!

Zbynek Honzik
Fantastic job, Bill! 👏👏👏

Bill Gilman
@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
