If ever an aircraft screamed futuristic finesse and oozed raw air power the Victor was certInly it. First flown in 1952 the Victor was the last of the 3 great V-Bombers and was designed for high speed, high altitude penetration of Soviet airspace to deliver nuclear weapons. Thankfully never used in that intended role she retired her days gracefully as a tanker in 1993. A rather nice feather in the cap of the victor was it "accidentally" breaking the sound barrier in a shallow dive by a test pilot becoming the largest aircraft at the time do do so. I know, test pilots..... absolute legends with big brass ones! On to this little number. My replica of 'Teasin Tina' will do 470 at SL and 560mph at 30,000ft (in an aforementioned shallow dive the sound barrier should be tickled). There's an infuriating slight role at SL that mysteriously disappears at height. Apologies I believe this is the landing gear in the wings responsibility and I never could quite iron it out without looking silly.

This is not robbing attention from your victor @Vuki11 that's a bit playground. If you look I've done a Vulcan so naturally I felt like I would do the other V-bombers at some point. You have some nice builds I might look at. Some advice though, airing your frustrations out on someone else's build is not going to do you any favours. If your submitting builds solely for the purpose of gathering upvotes your missing the point somewhat.
Oh just leave me alone my planes are dying out
Come again? @Vuki11
THANKS NOW I LOST UPVOTES
NICE JOB
Nice job clap clap BECAUSE OF YOU NOBODY LIKES MY HANDLEY PAGE VICTOR
When you repost it, tag me and I'll spotlight it 👍
@Tang0five hmm, not sure you want to delete it. I recommend just changing it and reposting. Also, if I may offer: Change the inboard trailing edges to "round" vs. "curved", which is more accurate, that way the engines will bulge out of the wing surfaces as they do on the real thing...
Thats what was wrong with it and I couldn't put my finger on it and it's only the most distinguishing feature from below! Thanks @ChiChiWerx for sporting that. I will correct this and I'm going to need your advice here. Is it as simple as delete and re upload or is there a better method to go down?
Well, an impressive build. Where are the famous crescent wings?
Thanks! @Liquidfox
@GhostHTX @Sgtk @tylerdeveneuxmusic Once again many thanks for your interest, support and kind words!
