If this were real would you buy one?

It's a bit rough, but its not the real thing yet.

Now that artwork realy does the trick.

There is a story dating from the 60's that Airfix were working on a TSR-2. But when the boffins from the MOD came to inspect the master. They told the Airfix boys to can the project! Reason it was way to accurate for the MOD to cope with, cant give johny Russki a clue as to what it realy looks like close up.
Mind you, I woundnt be surprised if the KGB achives have a compleat copy of the Blue prints anyway.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Yep - Bring them on, i could really go for a dozen of them as well.

As to the Russian martin, just look at the Sukhoi T-6 with the TSR-2 style wing, which then changed to the Swing wing Su-24 !!

Cheers

Actually I thought the mock-up box would look rather good next to all those TSR 2 on the Nats stand. Would certainly attract attention. We've got a chap working on instructions, hopefully that'll really complete the effect.
I dare someone to post that pic on e-bay and ask stupid money for it! In fact, if I can mock-up a 1965 style box that would be the ultimate 'collectors piece' :D

That will happen eventually, though it may be by Revell or MPM!

Maybe we should have a petition on the What if stand, one Airfix and the other for Revell for everyone to sign and hand them in to Airfix and Revell at the end of sunday
