This Airfix Handley Page Victor K.2/SR.2 Model Kit will make a fantastic addition to your model collection.

The Handley Page (HP) Victor was a jet-powered, strategic bomber which, alongside the other ‘V’ bombers, the Avro Vulcan and Vickers Valliant, formed an essential part of Britain’s nuclear deterrent during the early part of the Cold War. The Victor was designed to carry out long-range, low-altitude attacks, but was later relegated to an aerial refuelling role when it was no longer deemed effective as a strategic bomber.

Subject to RAF’s requirements for greater tactical manoeuvrability and a higher ceiling, the B.2 variant, with more powerful Rolls Royce Conway engines, was developed in 1959. 34 were produced and several were later converted for reconnaissance and aerial refuelling purposes.

The model kit comes with three RAF scheme options, so you can choose which version to build.
