Doesn't list actual options in the catalogue.

They will probably do all three scheme, the Hi Speed Silver initial scheme for Suez, Anti-Flash for the Nuclear Testing and camo for Tanker duties. Not that it matters that much as aftermarket decal are gauranteed to appear.

I suspect its a surprise release for later in the year and definately aimed at the Japanese market thus no mention in the catalogue, although it appears that traders may be able to order it.

There was a Valiant sheet a few years back with Antiflash and camo options on it.  Also included a Wellington and an early Canberra.  Can't remember who it was by though.

Hannants are listing the price as £34.99.  If anyone thinks that's a bit expensive, then I point you towards the Mach 2 Valiant.  Hannants have that in stock at £58.99.  So that'll be in the sale soon.

And if Hasegawa/Trumpeter etc did one, they'd want £100 for it! £35 is a great price IMO.

Are you guys serious about the Stratos 4 kit or is this a very early April fools gag!

no joke, all I've seen of it is on Airfix's 2010 order forms which we've had for our shop. Other than that I know nothing, and it's not listed on the Airfix site.

[Mossie]

I've seen it advertised on one or two online model shops.

[B777LR]

If it's for real I'll be getting a couple.

Second that! Anyone know if the launch vehicle is included?

[Mossie]

Doubt it.  Looks like a MAZ truck, Trumpy do a pair of 537's in 1/35, not sure if anyone does any in 1/72?  Would probably need some heavy kit bashing to resemble the TEL in Stratos 4.

Pit Road/Platz are a year late on their Anime Stratos TSR-2/MS release.

http://kampfgruppe144.blogspot.com/2008/10/1144-tsr2-by-pit-road.html

It was never clear as to whether is would be able to do only the anime version, or the vanilla version.

There is the chance that it was put on hold due to the Wolf Pack version or the Cafe Reo Special version?

The wolfpack 1/144  TSR-2 Kit can be found here:

They (wolfpack) also do an interesting TSR-2 Cockpit set in 1/48....

Couple of points:

1. Is that a Supermarine Type 559 (F.155T competitor) about 3/4 of the way down? 

2. For God's sake don't show Radish that apron.......

About halfway down the page (above THAT apron...) there's a pic of three models, a TSR2MS, a Mig 31 and something else. The something else looks like a cross between a 2 seater Lightning and an undersize B-58 without wing engines.

What the devil is it?
