Wolf Buddee Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I have to agree with Hubert on this one. After the Concorde, the Connie, and for it’s day, the 262. Without a doubt the B-58 has a place here too. I’ll never forget my flight on Concorde in 1986. Pure magic. Cheers, Wolf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the tip of the nose, the arched fuselage, to the triple tail vertical stabs, she was one sharp lookin’ lady! Cheers, Wolf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMackayDall Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 You either hate it, or love this one, for me it's the latter, even after they added all those refuelling pods and Küchemann carrot bulges on the wings. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Do you guys ever watch the old British Pathe airshows? Some of those old British aircraft are pretty funky. I could have bought the Airfix 1/72 kit the other day for 30 bucks reduced from $100.00. I showed great restraint. 3 hours ago, harv said: Always loved this one.......harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2020 I do have some odd tastes in aircraft, but I doubt many will argue my choices. The first is easily one of the most elegant designs ever to take flight, and the second is the most beautiful subsonic airliner ever to take flight. Like a VC-10, but just a bit more balanced. I’d also mention the Mug-29, but Martin beat me to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Yes wing root intakes, must be a pain to build, but they look so streamlined and still futuristic. There are some on Facebook making 1/48 3d laser print builds of various V-Bombers, and showing their work at https://www.facebook.com/groups/vulcanvictorvaliant/ Rikki Wolfe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I have to say there was something uniquely sleek in the design of the Victor Mk 1 and Vulcan Mk 1. It got worse with the Mk 2 versions of both. Hubert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2020 I AM a traditionalist, and I truly love the look of the big Valiant. It's one seriously gorgeous design that just looks right. Of course, all the V Bombers looked "right", there wasn't an ugly bone in any of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
