Was this the test bed for the Victor wing?

Was this the test bed for the Victor wing?

From Wiki:

The HP.88 project was designed to Air Ministry Specification E.6/48 as an aerodynamic test bed for the Victor design. The HP.88 had a scaled-down equivalent of the Victor's crescent wing and T-tail, and the fuselage was based on the Supermarine Attacker.

That looks like it's coming along really nicely.

A dream in blue.

BTW the top tail fairing shape is completely wrong. But you know what, I don't care!

_{What shade of blue did you use?}

[Andytee]

and what make of paint...................somebody said Humbrol midnight blue was a good match but I think that might be too dark

Loving this, never seen one built before. Great work so far

Loving this, never seen one built before. Great work so far

it's a new kit Neil - fresh off the Heritage moulding factory (Ian's workshop) Looks very neat... that fairing wouldn't be too hard to fix with a sharp blade, some putty and sanding sticks

[Andytee]

Anybody tell me the best paint to use for this one...building one myself

[Christer A]

Ohh, what a lovely bird!

Looks very good in blue :-)

Hey Homebee

Any progress on your model ?

Any progress on your model ?

 

No.

It's too cold for the moment and there's no heating system in my attic workroom.
