Cheers. Been in a holding pattern for a while, due to various circumstances. Hope to get back onto them soon... |

Finally got the Victor upgrade set from Flightpath, so I thought I'd better get on with it.... Here's the resin and the wing, awaiting hacking... ![]() You can see the difference in the intake shape ![]() I needed to do a fair bit of sanding to get them to fit properly ![]() I thought I'd taken more pictures of the modification process. Needless to say, it was a case of trial and thankfully, no error, to get the wings cut correctly ![]() Before fitting, I added the guide vanes. A total PITA job, as some were too big and some too small, and none were really shown sufficiently well on the instructions as to how they fit. Once in, I sprayed the whole thing white and added the kit engine faces.

New intakes, although a bugger to fit, make all the difference so well worth the aggro. |

I hope so. You can't see in that last pic, but the join of the vanes is awful... |

I've never tried to do this sort of work. The wing looks really good as does the rest. |

I seem to get myself into these situations. Becomes a steep learning curve.... |

Those intakes look much better than the kit ones.They look a lot more like the ones I have spent far too many Sundays clambering in and out of... |

The Valiant at last got it's coat of anti-flash white (also known as Halfords Appliance White)![]() I have fitted the new intakes to the Victor wings and went to attach them to the fuselage. One side was "perfect" ![]() The other I think I must have mis-measured. It's going to take a fair bit of fettling, I think...

Both look good, shame about the Victor wing fit though. |
