Airfix 1/48 TSR2 as "What if" BAC Eagle GR1 of 617 Sqn RAF


Recommended Posts

Very nice indeed,..... I had a similar idea with mine after seeing that same painting,..... but you have blown mine well out of the water,..... top job!

My God that is so good. If you didn’t know the sad fate of the TSR-2’s history, you’d swear that model was a faithful representation of the teal deal! 
Cheers and very well modelled.. Dave

Lovely job.

It brings to mind an RAF Yearbook (1976 or thereabouts) that had a "what-if" RAF article in it and one of the illustrations was an in-service TSR2 roaring up a valley escorted by a Hawker P1121. The artist was Wilf Hardy, if I remember correctly.

If the old saying 'If it looks right...' is true what a truly amazing aircraft this would have been.

And a superb model.

What date were you thinking in your timeline?

Tom

Probably around the the me I was at Marham so late 80's to mid 90's?

That is a really impressive Eagle.

One day i'll get round to building one of mine which i've had in the stash since 2009! Had all these ideas about what to do with that dodgy looking undercarriage, maybe modifying the MiG-31 undercarriage. I did once see a full bubble canopy available for this kit once.
