Something different about this TSR2

[Aussie747]

Here is my latest project, a mate had his 1/48 TSR2 out on Friday night and was hypothesizing a few modifications to make a RAAF Gulf War jet. He got me thinking about a few mods myself so on Saturday I dragged out one of my 1/72 kits and started chopping.

Any guesses to the donor kit?





One with the Mirage 4000S

Been doing a 1/72 one but not finished it, here's my thread

Looks like a Tornado canopy! 

Looking forward to it!

Rather nice and inspired, that.

Looks like great minds think alike! I think the way you have integrated your forward fuselage works better than th eway I did mine. I wish I had seen your thread before I had a go I would have saved a lto of putty!

It looks like you could still accomplish something along the same lines with your's.

I think the Tornado front end suits the TSR2 really well

Hi Robert,

Looks like you have put a lot more thought into your build, have you progress any further?

I rushed in and hacked and puttied away, I definitely wish I had seen your thread first, oh well.

I will use the Hindenburg tanks off the Airfix Tornado F3 for mine. I might even see how the Tornado tail gose on it as well

As for weapons, I might just stuff the weapons bay with an LGB or the like. I will have to wait and see after the putty and sanding dust settles.

No, I've sort of stalled on it at the moment, along with a few other projects I have going (STOVL Canberra, Sea Harrier F.13, EH-101 AEW and some others)

The Tornado fin and rudder, now that's a thought ------

I might try that with this other TSR2 project I'm thinking of, a TSR2 delta.  I think I'll stick with the Hindenburg tanks on the Eagle GR.7 and use some 1/48 Harrier tanks I was going to use and put them on the Delta instead.  I'm thinking of a high altitude recon bird.

Hmmm, I wonder where those delta wings come from?

Why does the number '105' come to mind......?

I'll change the plan form of the wings a bit, I asked TSRJoe if there was ever a consideration and he has said he would hook out a sketch he has of the Delta TSR2 for me to look at. Should be interesting.

That's pretty cool. Nice mating job there.
