Cheers Mike, your right it is a VC-10.
In the late 50's early 60's, Vickers and various government ministries looked into the various applications of the VC-10.
What they came up with was a Multi-Role VC-10 which could be easily converted from role to role,
Tanker,Troop transport,Casualty evacuation, Freighter, Bomber, Maritime Recon etc :)

As for the Kinetic F-16a mlu Shaun mentioned, it is one nice kit. I am hoping to put the Italeri Italian decals onto it as the one that came into Waddington this year.

S.
The Harrier's were large scale 1/24th!! Totally awesome as well!
Yeah we were looking at the one Shaun bought last night, looks well detailed and moulded..even the wheels/tire's are three piece assemblie's :)
Like to see your '16 in ItalianAF marking's when it's underway :thumb:
