Viking Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 BAC TSR.2 1:144 Great Wall Hobbies I don't need to introduce this do I? I'll just say TSR.2, the peak of technological development, axed just as flight testing on XR219 got underway in 1965. 2 more (XR220 & XR221) were days from taking to the air and joining their sister. t looks like a beautiful and menacing looking bird of prey, and many avaiation enthusiast have a soft spot for it, including me. This is the Great Wall Hobbies 1:144 kit, which fits together beautifully and does full justice to one of my all time favourite aircraft. But it is small! With a Mikro Mir 1:144 Valiant for comparison Size reference - a standard UK Tamiya paint jar Small? certainly is against my 'What If' 1/48 Airfix TSR.2! Thanks for looking, John 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Small against 1/48.... of course.... that is why it is called scale.... But it is large compared to the Valiant, no? By the way, both great models :thumbsup: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdonnell Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hello,John - I'll address this reply to both your fine builds of the iconic 'TSR2'. I love the clean 'classic' painting and finishing work.The quality of the crisp colour demarcation on the EPTS Scheme draws my eye particularly. These are superb scale tributes to this legendary aircraft. 😉👍 All the very best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 A nice model of an impressive aircraft - pity the politicians of the day got involved & caused its demise - like the shot with the Valiant too CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
