has anyone got a set of instructions for the above kit ?

I have the B2 kit, but would like to build it as a conventional a/c rather than the Blue Steel version.

the K2 kit includes the normal bomb doors on a separate sprue, but when I contacted Airfix spares, they say they need the sprue letter to see if they can supply the sprue.

all I need is the sprue letter, any help much appreciated.

If you don't get any luck finding the Airfix sprue, this might help: HP Victor B2 Early model conversion set

cheers, I'll bear that in mind, but it doesn't seem to list what is in the set.

hopefully someone will be able to tell me the sprue letter, and then Airfix will be able to provide it.

if all else fails, I'll just have to finish it with the Blue Steel parts.

Depending how far you want to go in adding detail to your Victor (or indeed any other models) the Scale Mates site can be a wonderful resource. Through it, I've managed to source: Mk.IV tank detailing bits from Poland, Hungary, and Czech Rep; FGR.2 Phantom bits from Germany and Russia; VC10 kits from Russia and bits from Czech Rep.

HAve you tried asking on the IPMS website? More victor modellers there I expect

there are B2  instructions here - any use?

many thanks, but the B2 instructions don't show the part numbers for the SR2 parts I need, only the K2 /SR2 kit instructions.

Airfix part can't help without the sprue letter, and it appears they also don't have the instructions.

might just have to buy a k2 kit  >:D
