There was also the Lindberg 'Remote Control British Jet Bomber' model of the Victor - I had one as a Christmas present back in the early 1960s. I think it was 1/96 scale; the model sat on a ball and socket stand top and was connected to the 'remote control' joy stick by a couple of lengths of piano wire running in plastic tubes from the stick unit via the stand to connections under each wing. Moving the joystick caused the model to move on the stand, which caused the relevant control surfaces to move in sympathy via a 'suitable system of levers' made from polystyrene and fitted inside the fuselage.
The 'remote control' aspect was rather fragile though - the plastic tubing would often come away from the stand or the under wing studs.
