The VC10 C.1 series — all 14 of which were delivered by the end of 1967 — were purpose-built military transports derived from the BOAC Super VC10 airframe but with structural differences for military airlift. The C.1K designation indicates the aircraft was subsequently modified to the aerial refuelling tanker-transport configuration, capable of both strategic airlift and probe-and-drogue refuelling. The VC10 C.1K served the RAF for decades on global strategic transport routes including the Falklands, Gulf, and Bosnia operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model presents standard RAF Transport Command markings: white upper fuselage transitioning to medium-dark grey on the lower section, divided by a bold dark-blue cheatline that runs from the stylised forward arrow below the cockpit windows to the tail. \"ROYAL AIR FORCE\" appears in dark-blue capitals above the cheatline on the mid-fuselage. An RAF roundel — blue outer ring, white inner ring, red centre disc — is positioned on the forward fuselage. Wing upper surface carries a secondary RAF roundel outboard of the engines. The vertical stabiliser is white with a standard RAF fin flash (red and blue vertical stripes) and the aircraft serial \"XV107\" visible near the top. Rear horizontal stabilisers carry additional small roundels. The distinctive feature of this airframe is its four Rolls-Royce Conway rear-mounted engines: two paired nacelles on each side of the aft fuselage, just forward of the T-tail — one of the most recognisable engine installation signatures in RAF history. Wingtips are plain, without winglets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craftsmanship \u0026amp; Collector Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJC Wings produced this as item LH2387 at 1:200 scale in diecast metal, supplied with a display stand. The VC10 C1K tooling demands a dedicated rear-engine nacelle arrangement unique to this aircraft family, separate from any commercial airliner mould in JC Wings' range. The VC10 was the last large airliner built by a British manufacturer as an independent company; only 54 total VC10s were completed between 1962 and 1970. Model dimensions: 24.18 cm length × 22.28 cm wingspan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXV107\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVickers VC10 C1K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 × Rolls-Royce Conway\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.18 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWingspan (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.28 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Item #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLH2387\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure you receive a flawless model, we perform a mandatory physical inspection on every item before shipment.
