miduppergunner Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Looks alright.... I suppose I do really think that is a it off|! Goodness - why is it that some people just cannot be nice about someone's model - have to make a remark that is not kind - don't know what is the matter with them????? David.

bexwh773 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Skii, this is a rather good job youve done here, glad I gave mine to my sister and Ive showed her your work and I told her I expect the same standard LoL Now then, once this ear TSR2 is finished, how about ya make a Frightning & a Cranberry to go with her then you'll have the whole team as it where.

Skii Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 hehe - so you like the backdrop - well I chose the black because the local stationers didn't have any blue left, but actually after seeing some of Phil's work, the black background is growing on me. Admittedly life is keeping me too busy to put the final finishing touches and photos together, but I promise it will be soon guys and gals, and thankyou sincerely for the kind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just give her a go as I've given up looking for a Matchbox T.55, and you are right - it would look wicked along side the TSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousA667 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I've given up looking for a Matchbox T.55, and you are right - it would look wicked along side the TSR You mean one of these? It almost literally fell into my lap a few weeks ago when one of my chums did a loft clearance. He gave me a box full of about twenty kits including the T55. Would I like them? Er, yes please! They are fairly plentiful on e-bay and don't necessarily go for silly money. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Skii She looks fantastic dude, nice work. I have missed this one, will go back and check it out as soon as settled in the new home. Once again nice work All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Just experimenting with a series of backdrops - not sure about black, maybe looks a bit stark with the white aircraft, seems to make the lighting levels tricky to play with - here is a test shot Very nice indeed.

FredCC Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Who-ooooo! I just saw a nice CMK walk around book on the TSR2 at my local hobby shop.....your build makes me want to buy it. Impressive work (I love the way you paint and weather your white). Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe Cranberry was B2 WD937. Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) The Lightning F Mk.6 serial is XR755. There is an anomaly with this however. The pic gives the impression that XR755 is one of the chase aircraft. This is not the case. The pic was taken on the ground at Warton during Families Day after the TSR.2 cancellation. The aircraft at the time wasn't even an FMk.6. Officially she was built as an F Mk.3ER. XR755 did make her first flight until 15 July 1965. This was some 3 months after cancellation of the TSR-2. XR755 finally entered RAF service with 5 squadron on 10/12/1965. XR755 was modified to F Mk.6 standard in April 1967 and returned to squadron service in May 1968 with 5 squadron. In 1983 she was transfered to 11 squadron and carries the markings today. XR755 is currently owned and restored by Ernie Marshall Callington, Cornwall.

Thanks Falcon, I wondered who she was, and more importantly, even better to know that such an important Lady still survives. Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive work (I love the way you paint and weather your white). Fred It's a very nice book Fred, but if you have a detailed walk around of the TSR.2 at Cosford already, it has possibly limited appeal? There are some nice pics in there though, and some at unusual angles because of their privileged access. The section at the back on the CMK resin upgrades will come in handy though, as I have a few metric tonnes of those bits for my 2 kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
