I got some prices from some picture framing outfits and they all were around C$300 to frame the print.  I was also told the print itself is worth about C$200.  This more than anything makes up for the fit problems with the kits.

One thing you should keep in mind is that the prints should be 'stretched' properly before mounting in frames, and definately don't glue the prints to anything.

Started my TSR-2 today!!! As I also have a Vulcan waiting its demise, I decided to fit its Blue Steel semi recessed under the belly... of the TSR-2. Have to stretch a bit the bomb bay, but aparently it works. After all, the Mirage IV had no bomb bay and carried its AN-52 nuclear bomb recessed under the belly, so why not the TSR-2? hope I wont have problems with the undercarriage :P  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

The Mirage bomb is about a third of the size of a Bluesteel though.

I read in one of the MAM articles that Bluesteel was discounted at an early stage for TSR2 as it was just too damn big, the main thing being not enough ground clearance.  SAMI produced some 'Blue Water' stand off nuclear missles for just this reason.

I'm not saying you shouldn't go ahead with the Blue steel though, for one thing the blue water missiles are £10 for a set of 2!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hey guys, I know that! But I managed to recess the blue Steel under the plane. Just spent three hours scrapping some plastic parts around the bomb bay :P.
The blue steel just fit between the forward undercarriage and the airbrakes.

Just want to make something original... this is also a kind of bet : I want to success were BAC and the RAF failed 40 years ago :P
But I agree, maybe there 'll be a ground clearance problem   :huh: until i change the undercarriage :)
