Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer and Victor Bundle
If you’ve been thinking about adding some classic Cold War RAF subjects to your 1/72 collection, Airfix currently has a bundle on their site that might be worth a look — especially if Buccaneers and Victors are missing from your stash.
The set includes two Blackburn Buccaneer S.2 kits along with one Handley Page Victor K2/SR.2, all in 1/72 scale. It’s a tidy combination if you enjoy building aircraft that shared operational history, or if you simply appreciate the engineering behind more modern Airfix moulds.
The Buccaneer kits, first released in 2018, offer a crisp build with 141 parts and the kind of detail that makes the type really come alive. The Victor, released in 2016, is a more substantial project at 257 parts, but rewards the time with its impressive size and unmistakable silhouette. Together, the three kits provide a good mix of complexity and display presence without feeling dated or soft on detail.
If you prefer Cold War-era schemes, you will need to look beyond the box for decals — but that’s part of the fun for many builders. Xtradecal and a few other aftermarket producers have issued several sheets covering both Buccaneers and Victors across a range of squadrons and time periods, so finding markings to suit your taste shouldn’t be difficult.
For anyone who enjoys RAF subjects or has been thinking about tackling a small themed collection, this bundle offers a straightforward way to pick up three solid kits in one go. It’s worth browsing the offer if these aircraft are on your modelling radar.
The offer can be found on the Airfix site BUNDLEA91 Gulf War – Refueller Pair Bundle
I’m not sure when this offer ends, I giess when they run out of stock.
