There's a rather nice build of an Airfix TSR.2 kit in the recent IPMS UK magazine (Issue 4 2022). It's by Michael Gething who took it on as a Lockdown challenge. He's chosen a wrap-around grey-green camo and 27 Sqdn markings like a Tornado along with Freightdog's bomb bay and refuelling probe set.

It looks very good and his backstory makes a lot of sense. A small number of early S.1 variants, some twin-seat T.2 versions and 100+ fully operational S.3 bombers and recce birds.  :thumbsup:

Would it be possible take a pic at least of some of the photos? There's no getting that magazine over here..
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

The whole TSR2 instead of Vulcan for Black Buck?  Nonsense. The engines couldn't carry enough oil.

Perhaps they had an oil tanker Victor as well as a fuel tanker?  ;D

TWO IFR probes, fuel on one side and oil on the other?
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
