Product Description

Vickers Valiant B Mk I (RAF XD829) (1:144 scale)
- Entering RAF service in 1955, the Valiant was originally developed for use as high-level strategic bomber. However, by 1963 its role, like the other V bombers, was changed to lowlevel tactical operations. An appropriate grey/green camouflage scheme was introduced in 1964. B MK.1 XD829 was one of very few Valiants to be finished in this tactical camouflage scheme before fatigue cracks, brought on by low-level flights, caused the rapid grounding of the fleet. With the Victor & Vulcan performing well, the cost of refurbishing the Valiant fleet was considered too high & in early 1965 they were retired from service. XD829 was broken up as scrap at Marham in March 1965.
