Wonderful!  :wub:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Gorgeous and that honking great roundel makes it
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Strange how many Soviet designs from the 60ies and 70ies look So good in RAF colors...? Pretty one - a pair of Red Tops and/or Firestreaks would make a great addition, too?

Very nice. What did we buy to replace TSR-2?
Cheers.

Tupolev Tu-22?

Oh-ho. Couple of Olympus stuffed in the back there, anti-flash RAF paint scheme, sounds a nice one. Range was always a problem. I wonder how the Olympus specific fuel consumption compares to the Dobrynin RD-7.

Could be an option on the new swing-wing 22M when it becomes available, too.
Cheers.

Maybe a strike version of the Tu-28?  :wacko:

Or the Mirage IV, as demonstarted by many RAF whifs... ;)

There was a serious project to build anglicised Mirage IVs full of TSR-2 kit, so as to keep the BAC shop floor in employment, but it fell through.

And there was this whiffy hybrid built round a redundant TSR-2 fuselage and a Mirage IV wing:
