I would like to ask also Snowen to send me his address. Thanks to all participants... 🙂 Quote SR-53 boxing - we plan two boxes, one real prototypes and the second what-if schemes. We are looking for the real persons to immortalise them as the pilots fo our whif planes (we are doing it everytime, usually selecting some Czech modelers). Your whif scheme tips are welcomed. V.P.

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The SR-53 was merely proof of concept. The production aircraft was the SR-177, which was under construction when cancelled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to this, as the Airfix SR-53, was the first kit I built on my own back in the 60s. Bring on wiffy schemes. Thomo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Cool - someone who wants to buy an Ursus SR-53 ;-) (this is just kidding - otherwise I would have posted it in buy & sell) René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pendant is a bit of jewelry typically worn around one's neck. A pedant however, is "a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning." That, I think is the correct usage you were attempting.... 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 How can one be accused of being pedantic when the subjects are entirely different? The SR-53 was never intended to be any sort of combat aircraft. Even the Firestreak missiles it carried were dummies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Bunker Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I always wondered why whilst the canopy on the SR.53 was neat and looked like it belonged on a fighter, the canopy on the SR.177 looked as if it had been fitted by the local greenhouse manufacturer. As for whifs, the SR.53 might look good in an early ETPS scheme. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Stick some NASA markings and stars n' bars and send it over to Edwards AFB for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm glad, as I have the Airfix kit and wanted to build it but as it was my dad's first model when he was a kid, it can stay that way now...all bagged up etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The SR.53 would have been an ideal point defence interceptor, so I think that 19 and 92 Sqn options from RAF Gutersloh would be good - similar to the 74 Sqn option above.

Space Ranger Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I contacted AZ/KP several days ago with a pre-order, but so far have heard nothing. Has anyone else had a reply to a pre-order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I have not heard anything either, thinking of sending a follow up. It might be that Jan is looking to see what the numbers look like for pre-orders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
