Max Headroom Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Looking good so far. For the benefit of those of us who don't have the kit, what's that bit by the tube of Green Stuff in pic #2? trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvr6 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 It's the bottom of the rear fuselage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonb13 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Nice start! For another person not familiar with the kit, is that two female pilots bending over in the cockpit? I know it's a Sci-Fi version of the TSR, so is the scale changed, as they look a lot smaller than the pilots on the sprue in Pic 1! J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard M Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) No scale change they are two teenage female Japanese pilots, they fly/navigate the aircraft on prone motorbike style seats as tested in the 50's on the experimental F8 Meteor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloster_Meteo...2Prone_Pilot%22 Edited November 16, 2011 by Richard M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvr6 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 That position increases the gtolerance of the pilots which is pretty pointless in a tsr2 lol I think its more to do with the japs watching teenage girls flying fast jets in doggie position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
