1/72 Handley Page Victor K.2/SR.2

The Handley Page Victor was the last of three British V-class bombers developed for nuclear deterrence during the early Cold War. While the original bomber versions became obsolete over time, the Victor's design allowed for extensive conversions that produced the key K.2 and SR.2 variants. played a vital role, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, supporting RAF operations with long-range aerial refuelling, while the SR.2 reconnaissance version was used for strategic imagery and intelligence gathering. Both variants retained the typical futuristic silhouette of the Victor, with its sleek arrow wing and distinctive fuselage providing high stability at altitude.

The 1/72nd scale Airfix kit offers an exact reproduction of the Victor K.2/SR.2 shapes, including realistic surfaces, wing details, additional tanks and characteristic equipment for refuelling and reconnaissance tasks.
