1/72 Vickers Viking 1B (FAA, T.A.R.)
Valom 1/72 Vickers Viking 1B (FAA, T.A.R.) is a kit of a post-war British military and government transport aircraft used by the Fleet Air Arm and Transport and Auxiliary Roles. The model offers the opportunity to build lesser known service variants of this type and is an interesting addition to collections focusing on post-war British aviation.
The Vickers Viking was widely used after World War II not only in civilian transport but also in the service of the British armed forces and government organisations. The Viking 1B variant was also used by the Fleet Air Arm in auxiliary transport and communications roles, where it was used to transport personnel, material and for training or support duties. These machines represented a transitional solution as the British Air Force and Navy adapted civilian designs for military use in the post-war era.
Valom's 1/72nd scale kit allows you to build Vickers Viking 1B in FAA and T.A.R. service colours, focusing on authentic airframe, wing and engine nacelle shapes. The model is intended for more experienced modellers who will appreciate the less common camouflage and historically interesting variants from the late 1940s and early 1950s. Its military context makes the kit suitable not only for aviation collections, but also for dioramas depicting the post-war operations of the British Air Force and Navy.
The package does not include the paints or glues needed for assembly.
