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.

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…

Hey guys,

I have a few CA kits, having built the MB.155 and it made up into a nice plane, but you have to work a bit to get to your results!

JDK, I know what you mean, they are a bunch of a$$holes, but I buy their kits at the cheapest price I can find, and believe me I get them cheap.

AM folded once because they announced a Beaufighter and Tamiya zipped right in front of them with theirs. While it is true that the AM Beau would have been more accurate than the Tamiya one, it would have been more difficult to build.

I built the AM SBD-4 and I’m going through a B-25 right now, and I hate those kits, but when they are finished on the shelf, they really look the part.

Here is my MB-155.

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.

Anna,

we have one Harvard, 3 Beavers and a T-28. All of them love to spill oil.

Do you want that job? 😉 😎

Two come to my mind.

1- a great while ago, at St-Hubert airport South of Montréal, the French Connection had their Cap 10s parked next to a F-4. The jet fired up and the pilot went on to taxi unto the asphalt from the grass. It throttled up, but nothing moved. He went into burners and the whole Phantom started to shake, while big chunks of lawn were being throwned in the air behind it. The poor Caps had people on their wings, as they were threatening to take-off unpiloted!

2- Ottawa air show, 2003. The USAF A-10 demo team had a very enthousiastic commentator. He went on and on at how many people the A-10 had killed in such and such war. Obviously, he forgot that Canada is a fairly pacifist country, and after the show, not much people clapped to the act.

Good show 270!

Get that girl into the air!

That Cessna is a 1973!

Piaggio is out?

Here’s a Meyers 200! :diablo:
