My latest project ....... Vickers VC10 K2 Tanker1/144 Scale

[ACLVC10]

This is it so far, just need to find a steady hand to put the decals on

[ACLVC10]

and one more.......

Nice job, but it's missing the inboard wing fences

[ACLVC10]

Excuse me for not knowing but what and where do they go?

[Jelle Hieminga]

That's indeed a known issue with the Airfix kit, it doesn't include the inboard fences because it is based on very old moulds which were made during the VC10's development as far as I know. I'll look up some photos for you ACLVC10.

Edit: how's this, it shows a type 1102 wing so ignore the chord extension, but the inboard wing fence is shown.

The fences are visible just outboard of the fridge pack condenser intake.

[ACLVC10]

So basically you mean there should be 2 intakes on the wing? Am i correct?

[petet16]

No, the intake is fine, if you look at the pic the wing fence sticks up vertically from the upper surface of the wing.

Sorry for the blonde moment..........i know which you mean now, thats going to bug me now

Doesnt look to bad other than that though does it?

Here's a clearer pic

It looks a well made model, it's a shame Airfix never released a 1/72 Vc10

[ACLVC10]

Yes 1/72 would of been a better scale but at least they released it at all, so glad i got my hands on one

I want to get another one now

[Jelle Hieminga]

This shows the wing fence on the right wing of A4O-AB, it should be easy to create them from scratch, from a bit of plastic card. There's a slight curve in the front end but at 1/144 scale you probably won't notice it if you omit this.



There are two 1/72 kits that I know of but they are either vacuform or resin kits, not something I've ever dared to try.
See here (scroll down for the second one): http://www.vc10.net/Misc/vc10_models.ht ... s_Vac_Form

Anyway, the model looks great ACLVC10! Just ignore us bickering about the details

[ACLVC10]

Cool, I will update you all with some pics on the final outcome
