I'm pleased to see that Myasishchev had the sense to put the tailplane actuators underneath, rather than on top which was how the 'English Men' wanted to do it........

Thanks folks.  Glad you like it.

As I believe I mentioned earlier, I really didn't pay as much attention as I should have to the TSR2 instructions.

British engineering figures that if the some of the fasteners fall out, gravity & air stream will keep them actuators in situ..
Soviet protocol demands that any such failures will be immediately/severely sanctioned as sabotage of state equipment - all involved will be liquidated - stat..

Actually I've always liked the EE tailed deltas - Lightning was a de facto example, & not many Western aircraft did use it, ( 'cept Douglas A-4 ) AFAIR..


Edit: fixed typo.

Ahhh yeah that looks glorious!!  Damn nice work there. I love the nose.

Good on yer Fred, I think the actuators look stupid on top, and I deliberately swapped them over on my Time Warp Eagle.

And I will on any other TSR2s I build too, RW or not.....

I think I just assumed they should go underneath.  Don't know why but it seems the right thing to do.

So's the dopey erk can bleat - "Dunno where they went Sir, I never actually bloody-well clapped eyes on the wee basterds.."



Edit: 'fixed' spelling.

Thanks Cap'n.
The bomb was going to be much bigger but the project was cancelled by the central committee.

Fantastic. Definitively Myasishchev.  Will be in the next edition of Russian Secret Projects.

I have a cut-down 1/35 torpedo, if that would help.

[zenrat]

Thanks Womby.  I have the basics of the bomb mocked up (cut down TSR2 MS anti meteor missile plus a sharpie cap as warhead) but time was running out (don't like to rely on getting an extension) and it was going to need PSR.
I'll finish it one day and mount it on a loading truck.
