Please, please tell me this ISN'T A FRIGGIN' WINDUP!!!!!

I think I'm in love...

[Mike Wren]

ooooh! now you're talking...  

[Hobbes]

Oh YES!

From the Airfix site: "due to popular demand we will be developing a fantastic 1:72 TSR.2"
So the TSR display at last year's UK Nats seems to have worked. Good to see that.

Hannants did get the measurements wrong, I think. 37 mm is a bit small, it'll be 37 cm instead. And we'll have to wait another year (Hannant's is expecting a Autumn 2005 release).

I love it when a plan comes together.  B)

Can I just add the following:

Kick donkey!

[retro_seventies]

yes yes yes yes YES[/size]

guess i'll be buying myself a bunch for xmas next year!

[Ollie]

HOORAY!!

Guys, this is the first victory we What-Ifers have won over JMNs and the industry!!![/size]


           

[Captain Canada]

Yeah, that would be really cool !

I wonder if I can trade my resin one in with Thorvic for a plastic one ? Then I wouldn't be so dog-gone chicken poo-poo (with an english accent) to build one !

And then I could also do a whole set of 1 Air Div NATO birds, from Baden-Soellingen, as well as NORAD types, trainers, and shore based RCN jobs !

Oh, the joys !

 

[Swamphen]

Gotta have it!

[Supertom]

Wow, I take a nap and this is what happens!  I should have more naps.  

£15 is a good sum of money but then again, it's a large plane.  We've asked for one and now Airfix has decided to take a big risk on us.  Let's show Trev that it's not just lip service and buy several once it shows up on shelves (I see myself building at least 5)

Hey Mairfrog, you gotta finish your Heritage TSR.2 now - it'll be the "last one built" - think of it - it'll be like a phoenix rising out of the ashes!!!

Tom, it's just like you said: As soon as you start a really nasty resin kit of a rare subject some company announces a styrene version.  ^_^

It was worth it!

Ha ha ha..hehehe..Ha Ha Ha BWA HAHAHAHAH!!!  B)  B)  B)  

[Ollie]

Toad, I'll trade yer resin monster for a big box of spares!

So, do I start my Aardvaark Kestrel, in the knowledge that Airfix will do one next year?


Oh, anyone want to take bets on a Revell TSR2 kit?

I think somebody else already said it but I love it when a plan comes together!

GOOD SHOW GENTLEMEN!

[Ollie]
