I watched a set of Colin's TSR2 tanks go for £77 this evening on eBay. A touch steep for me that! Would be nice if Colin would bring them back as I could use a couple of sets of them.

yeah, in the last month I've seen a variety of TSR.2 bits, an Avro 720, and some V-Bomber bits go for strong money. Seems like the time is ripe for Colin to get some new batches cast.... (nudge nudge)...

Telford is not that far away, perhaps he has been busy.

Bloody Hell, just seen this! Was that the wing tanks and the big belly tank? Might need to cast a few more up. I have recce sets and WE177 sets already (these include the wing drop tanks),  but the big belly tank hasn't been available for years. I was hoping Airfix would do a surprise TSR.2 release, unlikely though!

I am working on Telford stuff at the moment, but no announcements yet as I'm struggling to get production done in time.

Yes, that was the set with the big belly tank.

I will be bringing my Freightdog Tempest conversions with me is you want to use them as display pieces this year Colin.

I'll take one of those, and one of them, and two of these.......

But seriously, Avro 720 and P.1154 please ;)

Well - I for one have two 1/72 TSR.2's that definitely should benefit from belly tanks as well as refuelling probes..  :angel:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

The big belly tank's a wondrous thing, and it really suits the TSR2 as well.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

The selling price reflects just how good your stuff is Colin. I could be tempted with a few TSR 2 bits also, as it might give me the prod I need to build one of them.

@Freightdog862 , I'm thinking at Telford maybe you should have a list of some of your out of production kits and ask people who visit your stand to mark which ones they would buy if stock became available. Would give an idea of demand.

I certainly was keen on some of the TSR2 stuff, but due to lack of availability and silly eBay prices, have just drawn things up and 3d printed them.

Forgot to mention, I also want a P.1154 kit too.
