I'd rather have a ladder gantry and howdah shade for the U-2R than a whole J75 engine — which, given the U-2S release in parallel, is not beyond the bounds of possibility.

 

Nice shelf companion for the Revell Habu.

Oooh, nice.

It would be awesome if they did the same markings as the latest Italeri release, but I guess that's unlikely.

Nice!

What do we have here?

Length of a Starfighter and wingspan of a B-52? :D

Let's hope they follow this up with s new tool SR-71

You are aware of Revells fantastic SR-71 from last year, no?

And don't forget the Hypersonic/Gaspatch SR-71 project

Hoping the excessive tail plane dihedral is just badly built, but this is definitely one for the purchase list.

Hardly a deal-breaker or even an issue (if it is one). Let's hope that lots of ASARS and SYERS noses and pod variants get done too.

Agree — it's definitely on the acquisition list.

Interested in modelling an Alconbury TR-1 from the late 1980s with the full Sigint antennae "farm". Or a similarly equipped Osan U-2R jet (though the survivors from the late 1960s run featured stiffeners on the tailplane)

Could use a SYERS sensor for my Canberra PR.9
