The 1/72nd TSR.2 is supposed to be re-released 2nd quarter this year (extra sprue for the Stratos 4 Meteor Sweeper parts). Don't know if the standard decal sheet is included but all parts are supposed to be in it. http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/airfix-172-stratos-4-bac-tsr-2ms/

On Airfix site its says that the Valiant will now be released in 2011 :banghead:

Well most new kits actually take about 18mths to reach the shelves and most of their special kits have followed that pattern

And most will buy it only to leave it on the stash shelf for several years!
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.

It's like laying down a fine wine, you have to get it now as the kit matures with time and eventually turns into a Classic, and just HAS to be built........  -_- ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Wonder how a working version would go down at a model show.  ;D

Fill it with Rad's Happy JuiceTM, but it probably take out a whole hall at Telford on the first go....

Saying that, even if it was a candle like flame, you'd have the Health & Saftey heavies jumping on you & kicking you in the kidneys....

I'm building two Airfix Spitfire IX's at the moment, both out of the box, and they are proving enjoyable, relaxing builds.

Just got around to putting the transfers on and I thought I'd comment on the invasion stripes on the "JE-J" version. They go on beautifuly and fit really well :thumbsup: Take some time coming off the backing sheet, as do all the transfers, but are nice and robust and move easily. Slightly opaque but nothing serious to worry about. Well done to Airfix or who ever designed/printed them  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

No Idea Todd, was supposed to be at the start of the year according to them at SMW, and their official launch of the kit on Illustrious herself (before she went for refits whilst Ark Royal takes over the duty ). Now mid march and still no sign.
