big news for modelmakers

Rob, the fake box features a coloured photograph of the real deal, what you see is the main gear bogey having rotated after the plane has rotated.

Is it me, or is there a problem with the starboard undercarriage on that fake boxshot?

Trust that’s not what the real model will look like?

Or am I just an ignorant monkey who doesn’t know better?

Lets hope Corgi do one in a decent scale in the Aviation Archive. I’d love one in 1/48 !

here’s a link to the hannants page with it on,

(the box is wrong because truth be known, the lighting would have been behind the TSR2)

Ok I’m drooling, how long do I have to wait – I’m getting impatient already and I’ve only just read it! 😮 😀

Ok, here are the two images I was talking about.

We have Trevor from Airfix holding the counterfeit box and the box itself.

This is not the real box, only a clever move by one of our chap.

Yes, those guys on the Airfix website are all from the SIG and thus from What-If Modelers.

I know, they’re all me friends!

One of them, MartinH even made a false Airfix box about the TSR.2.

Now where is that saved image…

the guys on the airfix website have also been kicking up a fuss about this model too. www.airfix.com

You might be interested in knowing that if this kit is being released, it’s because of the concerted efforts of a few individuals over that the What-If website.

Without them, we wouldn’t have a TSR.2 now.

What-If

It’s the unofficial page of the TSR.2 SIG.

😉 😎

i am planning to do at least two, i have the heratage one that will be one of the prototypes, will do one airfix TSR2 as a “what if” RAF 208sqn one and a raspberry ripple ETPS one.
Greg

Excellent! Will look lovely alongside my anti-flash Vulcan!

oops, me dumb, its 1/72nd, sorry Andy
Martin at heratage models has told me the brass and white metal parts from his resin kit will be available as aftermarket accesories for this kit too.
Greg

Scale??
