QuoteWooksta's prediction for the Nats - you will not be able to move without seeing TSR2s as the world, his wife and quite possibly his mistress too, will be building them.
witch only goes to prove we were right all along. that it was a sure fire winner
I always hope for the best.

Beauty ! I especially enjoyed the Merlin...just looks too good in those colours, especially with the wings out and the flaps lowered...really sets her off.

I also liked the variations in the landing gear, sure gives them a different look !

Have fun at the show !

OMG, they are gorgeous :wub:

Can't wait to get into my new house, get unpacked, and get building again :wacko:

Cheers Guys

Only trouble with doing these is that its curtailled some of the more adventurous projects where i tend to do the scratch building. I do have one special project lined up for Telford and now that these are done i'll try and crack on with it.

Still got a few TSR2 planned based upon bits and articles from the MAM articles so might be able to add another pair for the TSR2 SIG stand at Telford. I would like to one using the CMK sets but the third cockpit set has yet to appear and given the timescale it would be better for a post Telford build.

As for Wooksta saying the place will be awash with TSR-2 than that would be great, afterall what best way to indicate the success of the SIG and its goals to promote awareness of the TSR2 and to have an injection moulded kit of the fine beast. Hopefully this year we can sit back and chill out at the show after having talking ourselves silly to all and sundry who would vist the table and ask about the TSR2 for the last three years.

By the way any who wish to display a completed TSR-2 on the TSR-2 SIG stand at Scale ModelWorld 2006, please feel free all i ask i that you contact us with the details as it would be nice to label each one if possible (Also give's us an idea on how to layout the display - numbers, versions, schemes etc).

Cheers

You've got a fleet of beauties there, Thorvic! Some of the most eye-catching aircraft I've ever seen! Incredible work! Makes me wish I could join you at Telford. B)

Nice to see you here! The other day I browsed the "workbench" section of this forum and was amazed by your models. now that's an impressive TSR-2 collection  :o  
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.

Ha!  And there I was thinking to myself the other day "self, Thorvic hasn't built shown anything on the forums for yonks", then hey presto!

Great stuff Geoff.  Like the one with the extended nosegear (SAMI set?) and LOVE the Merlin, great job on the dropped flaps & slats.

I too am awaiting delivery of the CMK detail set.  Gunna combine that with the SAMI recon pack on my last one.

Amazing quality as usual Geoff - tremendous  :)  
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
