1/144 V-Bombers in Anti Flash white - CTA Decals





 

1/144 V-Bombers in Anti Flash white - CTA Decals

UPD: Decal was reborn - now this is silkscreen print. And available for orders!

Well, after all, I roll out new decal. This for V-Bombers fans. Almost all 1/144 kits of Valiant, Vulcan, Victor were released without Anti-flash markings. But now, this problem solved.


Decal include next markings:

Vickers Valiant B(K)Mk.1 XD818, No.49 Squadron. Operation Grapple. First drop Hydrogen Bomb. Malden Island, South Pacific, 15 May 1957.

Vickers Valiant B.1 WZ401, No.207 Squadron. RAF Marham, flown by W/Cdr A D Dick, AFC. November 1963.

Avro Vulcan B.2 XH562, No.35 Squadron. RAF, 1962.

Avro Vulcan B.2 XM570, No.27 Squadron. RAF Scampton, 1963.

Handley Page Victor B.Mk.2 XL158, No.139 Squadron. RAF Wittering, early 1960s.

Handley Page Victor B.Mk.2 XM715, No.100 Squadron. RAF Wittering, April 1963.

1/144 Vickers Valiant MK.I - Mikro-Mir


1/144 Vickers Valiant MK.I - Mikro-Mir

Having previously provided a 1/144 Project 865 Piranha Soviet Prototype Submarine and a 1/144 YAK UT-1 (pack of 3), Mikro-Mir look set to produce another classic V-bomber. If this kits follows the trend of thier other items it should largely be a resin based kit with possobily some photo etching, previous decals have not been that great (so let see if these improve on them).

1/144 Vickers Valiant B Mk.I - Amercom


1/144 Vickers Valiant B Mk.I - Amercom
Well now, you wait for years dreaming of the V-Bomber fleet and then they come flying at you from all angles.......

First of the V-Bombers to drop bombs in anger, first of the v-bombers to drop an atomic bomb (testing) and subsequently the first operation in flight refueling tankers...

And if you wish to recreated a classic cold war image of a V-Bomber Force airfield surrounded by Bloodhound SAMs (you will make Matti's day!)
http://www.shapeways.com/model/619125/1-144-bloodhound-with-launcher.html

In case you need reminding of the history of this fine looking aircraft:
http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/valiant/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Valiant

The sole surviving example can be found here at RAF Cosford (somewhere I have photos!)

It's not on the main Amercom Website yet, but it should show here soon:
