just finished this

tsr2 entered service and the f111 was still having major problems. vietnam was hotting up and the yanks needed 1 or the other but couldnt decide which.
the raf agreed to lend 6 tsr2 gr1s to the us for field evaluation alongside the f111 to see which worked best (or at all!)

You can even cross kit them. I grafted the rear fuselage of an A-5, and its wings, onto the forward fuselage of a TSR2 (admittedly a Merlin one.....) and it worked quite well. It's in my gallery here, as a BAe Barracude S3 in an FAA scheme.
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! :)

Regards
Kit

great stuff  :bow:

The australians also used their tsr2s in "nam"

they were the first export customer for the Excalibur mk51 which they called the Thylacine B1
