mrvr6 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 iv decided to build a modern trio 1 of which is a whif of tornado gr4 typhoon tsr2 gr7 i cut slots in the wings so i can remove and refit them whenever i like, i also did it in such a way that they click firmly into position so they remain secure when i push them in i havnt started the tsr2 yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Looking forward to this build - any ideas as to which squadron markings you'll be finishing them in?? May I suggest that TSR2 would look nice in auxiliary squadron markings. Good luck with your builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormodeller Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 HOW many TSR2 do you have (probably a secret stash of 4667), loving your TSR2, keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvr6 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 HOW many TSR2 do you have (probably a secret stash of 4667), loving your TSR2, keep up the good work i already have 7x 72 scale and 7x 48 scale kits built including delta wing and swingwing versions lol 3 x 72 scale and i think 2 more 48s in the stash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvr6 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 heres what i usually do with tsr2s glue a piece of sprue under the vert stab pin, cut the pin off the stab itself and drill a hole in it and the sprue (i use 1.5mm) then cut a suitable piece of rod, this gives a better fit but still allows easy removal of the tail cut the pins off the tail and drill them for 1.5 mm brass rod (make sure its easily bendable because you wont get the angle dead on) cut a suitable length of rod. cut down the exhaust tunnels so the rod has clearance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
