TSR2 meets Red Beard

[tc2324]

A little 1/72 scale something I`ve been working on the last couple of months with a fair amount of that time trying to choose an appropriate paint scheme! 

This is most definitively within the realms of `what if`, although some of it can be traced in fact like say, the serial numbers and red tail, which tended to be the scheme of choice for most test establishments.

So here we have TSR2 air frame XR229 test dropping a Red Beard dummy bomb which IIRC would initially have been the TSR`s nuclear weapon of choice.

A fun build and something a little different from the white or camo versions often seen on the net. Possibly not so much a `what if`, but more a `could of been`?












Thanks for looking.

Very nice!
I really like the 'weapons drop' pose.

[McColm]

That's great

Very nice, I don't think I have seen a NMF TSR-2 before, it looks better than I envisaged like that

Very cool, TC, and a definite "should have been".  Lovely finish and scheme, and the bomb drop really sets it off.  Well done!
Best regards,
Kem

That head-on shot is awesome, just what the enemy would have seen, for a very short while anyway...........

That looks very nice indeed. Love the dayglo scheme and the little bit used appearance of the airframe. Good work!

Beautiful.
A first, I thought that the first photo, where the transparent rod is nearly invisible, was a real plane.

Photoshop out the transparent rod and add in some heat blur from the engine and it would look very real!

If you squint at the first pic the rod vanishes and it looks great.

You are not the only one ! That is absolutely fantastic  Up there as one of my 2017 favourites

Thank you all very much for the kind comments chaps.   

Pretty much the only `what if` model I`ve done this year so glad it`s appreciated.
