TSR-2 Profiles

Talos · February 25, 2009, 06:03:28 AM

Seeing DamienB's profile thread, and since I finished the first profile with my TSR-2 template, I thought I'd share it over here for the people who didn't see it in my thread.

Still not entirely done, I'll probably update it soon, but good enough to show.

More to come!

Nice! I plan on doing my 48th kit in JASDF blue.

91 Hikotai though...?

Talos · February 25, 2009, 07:27:54 AM

Thanks, nev.

91 Hikotai is due to that I don't have good scans of any of the JASDF tail insignia, so I couldn't put anything on the tail. I looked through my book of WWII Japanese markings and the 91st Sentai jumped out to me. My idea was a more militant Soviet Union, starting with a small shooting engagement at the Berlin Airlift. Eventually, the JSDF is much larger then in IRL, complete with TSR-2s, two older US carriers, F-14s, etc.

Well, the JMSDF retain much of their WW2 heritage - the only branch of the JSDF that does - so using the old IJN markings isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

Never has an aircraft looked so plausible in so many colour schemes

Thanks, Damien. Keep up the good work on your's, those British ones that you posted earlier look awesome!

I'll probably do a couple other JASDF schemes eventually, particularly the land scheme the F-1 used to have. Besides that, got lots of Tornado operators to convert to the TSR!

Before I get to those, though, I need to finish updating the shading and highlighting on my Stratos 4 TSR-2MS. As a preview, here's the lineart.

EDIT: I did make one small change to 91 Sentai's red divided triangle tail markings, though. I added a white outline to each of the three pieces, which I think makes it look a lot more modern and finished then it's WWII counterpart.

Okay, I lied. I did the Luftwaffe one first!

Here's another one, Royal Saudi Air Force camo and markings.

DamienB · February 27, 2009, 12:38:25 PM

Nice. I'm in the middle of an RSAF one too, different type of scheme though.

Talos · February 27, 2009, 12:54:36 PM

Oh, which one? Natural metal? Gray?

EDIT: If you need the "Royal Saudi Air Force" markings with Arabic text, I can send you a copy of mine if you'd like.

DamienB · February 27, 2009, 02:28:48 PM

Many thanks but already all done and up on my site now. Got a font that matches the English text fairly well, and auto traced a bitmap of the Arabic text as my vector package seems to make a mess of it as text.

Talos · February 27, 2009, 03:17:32 PM

Alrighty then. I'll go take a look at your's!

Talos · March 02, 2009, 04:30:35 PM

NASA TSR-2s.

Scooterman · March 03, 2009, 05:54:58 AM

STUNNING!!!!

Talos · March 06, 2009, 07:41:18 PM

Thanks, Scooterman.

Here's a couple Canadian TSR-2s.
