Good afternoon everyone,
On Sunday I went to Cosford and picked up, among other things, an Airfix 1:72 TSR-2 and a Pit Road 1:144 TSR-2 "Strike Role".
So, seen as I'm planning on doing the 1:72 TSR-2 as my local Cosford example, I thought- why not utilise the 1:144 kit's belly fuel tank and martel missiles to create a "what-if" variant?
Based on other info on the internet: This is my interpretation of the TSR-2 GR4 as it could have served in the 1990-1 Gulf War. it is fitted with a targetting "pod" underneath the nose of the cockpit and a retractable refuelling probe on the side of the cockpit, as well as the 4 underwing pylons with Martel missiles.
-RBF tags and engine nozzle FOD covers made from paper
-Paint was mixed from a variety of Vallejo Air colours
-Decals from the Airfix Buccaneer
(And the obligatory comparison with a 1p coin)
Thanks for having a look! Any comments are much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sam
