B-36, B-52, or 747

I emailed Eduard 4 or 5 years ago to ask exactly that question, they said they had no plans too. Bear in mind the LanceR was still in service with the Romanian Air Force at that point, now they've all been retrired it's probably even less likely.

Corrected that for you 😁 At least if you hate tea it doesn't have much of a smell to it. When someone's drinking coffee near me, my nostril's are assaulted by the foul stench of the stuff.

Absolutley, the various Rafale solo display schemes are ones I do like, an exception that proves the rule. Another is RCAF CF-18 demo team scheme:

III If the X-32 is the Fiat Doblo of fast jets, the Mirage III is the Toyota Corolla.

Could have been a lot worse:

Did it sell that well though? Surely if it did, Airfix would have re-released it at some point rather than just the single, solitary 2009 boxing.

One of my favourites currys to cook at home is Korma with a kick, basically a regular Korma with fresh chillis added.This one does sound too hot for me though.

They misinterpreted a photo and thought a main gear bay door was actually a ludicrously oversized pylon, as embarrassing as it is funny, The fun starts on the the third comment down at the link below https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235063180-new-tool-airfix-vulcan-172-black-buck-rebox-announced/page/40/

.....of the aircraft as it is right now, not how it looked 60 years ago. I have read on this forum of other examples of kits being tooled based on museum subjects which erroneously included details which just weren't there when the aircraft was in operational service, or omitted ones which were. I honestly don't know if this applies to the TSR-2, maybe it's a non-issue in this instance, that's where you need input from an expert.

Hopefully Airfix have learnt their lesson from the Black Buck Vulcan screw up and will have the good sense to actually consult experts on the type too rather than just blindly following plans, photos and lidar scans.

I definitely wouldn't rule it out if Airfix did produce a new tool kit. The TSR-2, being prototypes which only ever carried one scheme, has the dual advantages of being far more whiffable than most other subjects and unlike many other aircraft, you can accurately predict which whif schemes would be popular, ie the real world RAF Buccaneer and Tornado schemes from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Personally I'd go for desert pink 🙂

Absolutely, especially when they previously used Cartograf, which for me is always a selling point in any kit which includes them. I had the opportunity to do a literal side by side comparison a few years ago. I was building a 1/48 Eduard MiG-21 SMT, I went for a loadout of 8 bomb rack mounted FAB 100s. For reasons best known to themselves, Eduard didn't include enough stencils for 2 racks + 8 bombs, not a problem though as I could just raid the ones from the MF in my stash. The difference between the Cartograf stencils in the SMT kit and Eduard's own in the later MF box were like night and day, with the Cartograf having both better legibility and a thinner less conspicuous carrier film.
