Technical Question

[kitnut617]

This is an observation of all the models I've seen of the TSR2.  In a lot of the photos where the model is displayed with the undercarriage down, some show the main wheels cantered outwards while others (not many) show the wheels to be vertical.  

I have a video on the TSR2 and it's development,  I don't see the wheels cantered outwards like this in the film clips.  

Is this one of the errors of the model or is it because the models undercarriage is too weak to support the weight properly when stood on it's wheels.

Interested to know,  Robert


Edit:  Just been on ARC and there just happens to be a TSR2 walk-around posted there today.  This answers my question:

BOTH!

It seems to be a flaw in the airfix model... it is a bit heavy, and the fixation of the wheels is really thin...
