Mach 2 Argosy

Having TOTALLY misread/misunderstood the title of this thread, I now have a surreal mental image of an Armstrong Whitworth Argosy accelerating to 1320 miles per hour!

 
I may have inadvertantly created a monster. One that is capable of twice the speed of sound

Precisely!

IPEC used to base it's Argosy out of Adelaide.  I used to see it flying overhead nearly every afternoon on it's flightpath out to the Eastern States.   It was an interesting aircraft to watch as it passed overhead.

I had issues with the landing gear on the Argosy which is why I changed it to the Inflatable Cushion Landing System mI also changed the engines and used those from the Hasegawa Boeing B-47E.
I didn't get to finish the RB-57F but ended up using parts from the Italeri RB-57 for the cockpit, and landing gear.
I've had several attempts of building the Sud Caravelle kit which is one of the 'better ' kits, let down by the engines and landing gear.
The SeaMaster is also another one, great at being a donor for kitbashing.
The Avro York kits don't line up and you need a Lancaster donor model for all the other parts.
The Frelon is a pain to build, I opted for a EH-101 Merlin kitbash.

If you do get stuck with your Argosy try using parts from the C-119 Boxcar, they fit!

I looked at the thread title and immediately thought of swept wings and BIG afterburning turbo-fan engines etc.

You know someone has to build it, now, or the Whifverse will be completely out of balance & off-kilter!

Well, mine arrived this morning, and from first glances, it doesn't look as bad as I had thought it would be. Yep, the glazings look like they are misted up  but they at least can be replaced with crystal clear. I have built enough ACE armour kits and Eastern block limited run stuff (Amodel) so I should at least manage to build it without being permanantly admitted to the psychiatric ward.

without being permanantly admitted to the psychiatric ward. 

So just a short stay then ?

I can only hope so Chris.
