Hello everyone!
A friend of mine is trying to get his hands on a couple of model aircraft. I’m at a loss so could someone out there be of service? I’ll copy/clip what he wrote to me earlier. Thanks in advance!!!

“I am tring to find a Vicker Valiant and a Handley Page Victor in 1/72 scale. I found a Vulcan/Victor in 1/72 scale from MPC when I cleaned out my models from my mom’s house. Got any ideas?”
The Victor should be easy. Revell Germany just reissued the old Matchbox 1/72 kit of it within the past year.
The only Valiant kit I’m aware of is a vacuum form kit from about five years ago, I think by Historic Wings. The best thing to do to be sure on that is contact Hannants in England to see if the kit is still out there to be had.
For the Vulcan there’s always the airfix one(identical to the MPC one i belive) they are readily available at most hobby/model shops. Greg
Try the on-line yellow pages to locate Argus Hobbies in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This mom & pop shop is one of the best but they are not on line. If they don’t have it they can order it if it is available.
Good luck & Happy New Year,
Bruce
You guys are great! Thanks for all the info and help! English planes just aren’t my thing unlike U. S. planes. I’ll pass on each of the tips you guys told me. Have a happy and SAFE new year!!!
