From the Airfix Vintage Classics collection, the Airfix HMS Victorious Model Kit is a great addition to any model ship collection.
HMS Victorious joined the Home Fleet on commissioning in May 1941 and just nine days later her pilots encountered and attacked the German battleship Bismarck. After the sinking of the Bismarck, HMS Victorious continued to operate with the Home Fleet.
Victorious's Fairey Albacore aircraft were subsequently involved in an attack on the German battleship Tirpitz in March 1942. She provided cover for Russian convoys PQ-15 and PQ-17 in May and June 1942 respectively. She then participated in Operation Pedestal and then went on to take part in the North African landings at the end of 1942.
HMS Victorious sailed to Pearl Harbor to join USS Saratoga's Battle Group, Task Force 14. She arrived and took up duties under Task Force 14 in the Southwest Pacific on 17th May 1943. During that year, this busy ship supported the US Pacific fleet on many operations usually carrying both British and US Wildcat fighters.
In July 1944, she led a strike against Palembang with HMS Illustrious, then on 25th July she led a strike against the Andaman Islands with HMS Indomitable.
