Very nice! I'm inspired to do something similar with a 1/48 F-104, and have already ordered the runway blur base. Question for you: How exactly is the aircraft mounted to the base? Could you post a pic?

Posted a couple of quick pictures to answer your question. It`s an acrylic display stand turned on it`s side.

 

With the TSR having a nice flat underbelly, it is simply a case of placing it on top.

Hello,TC - My full compliments to you on a beautifully built and finished 'TSR-2'.I love the dynamic 'high-speed pass' portrayal.It truly sums up the power and grace of this legendary type. I have this kit waiting in the wings and I'll be delighted if it looks a fraction as good as this.Well done indeed.

😉👍 All the best,Paul.

Wow, the simplicity of the display is fantastic and really offers the impression of speed to the eye.  Wonderful build of an aircraft that could have been a world beater had it been developed fully.
