Roden have announced a new-tool model of the Super VC10 - arguably the most elegant airliner of its generation. The 1:144 kit will be available in two boxings with BOAC and East African Airways decals.
# 313 Vickers Super VC10 Type 1151

# 329 Vickers Super VC10 Type 1154


The Vickers VC10 was a long-range British airliner designed and built by Vickers-Armstrongs and its first flight was in 1962. The airliner was designed to operate on long-distance Empire routes and commanded excellent ‘Hot and High’ performance for operations from African airports. With its introduction by BOAC in April 1964, the VC10 became an immensely popular aircraft in the BOAC fleet, both with passengers and crew, being particularly praised for its comfort and low cabin noise levels. It was BOAC’s most successful Aircraft in terms of passenger numbers carried. The VC10 still holds the record for the fastest London to New York crossing of the Atlantic, of 5 hours and 1 minute. Other major users of the VC10 were East African Airways and the Royal Air Force, the latter only withdrawing from service its last VC10 in 2013.

I'm sure it"ll be nice-just wish we'll get this one in 1/72nd as well-as an all injection-molded kit!

Agreed, I too would love to see this in 1/72nd plastic, although I think Anigrand do one in resin. Regards Jason
