The model shown is the
1/72 scale Aeroclub vacform Vickers Varsity T1. Which I had started in March
2011. I have scratch built the landing flaps, aircraft interior, front wheel
bay, all the aerials, access ladder and access door, added extra detail such as
wind screen wipers and brake lines to the wheels. Airbrushed using Tamiya white,
Xtracolor light aircraft grey and red, weathered using Promodeller wash and post
shaded using charcoal crayons.

I hope you like the photos of an aircraft I feel is very often over looked and forgotten about, even though its history can be traced back to the Vickers Wellington Bomber and the Vickers Viking/Valetta
