Monster Scale Victor Bomber

Monster Scale Victor Bomber

This 18-foot-span beauty is the handiwork of Gordon Nicholls and is flown here by Andy Johnson at the Large Model Association (LMA) RC show at the Royal Air Force Elvington airfield. This 15-year-old, 1/6.5-scale jet has more than 300 flights and is powered by two Wren 160 turbine jet engines. A replica of the Cold War bomber, it weighs in at 150 pounds. It’s a fantastic aircraft and its many successful flights are a testament to the rigors of construction under LMA regulations.

    We supported Gordon about 15 years ago with a 5.0HKF Kerosene fueler. Gordon is a good friend of mine & Dave Biddington. Wonder if he still uses it?
