Hello all,

so for the last few weeks I've been beavering away on the joint winner/close second place F.155T submission by Armstrong Whitworth, which I'm sure most of us are aware of. I have a WIP over on Britmodeller forum which I won't repeat here, but please feel free to have a read.

I've got it to the point now where I think its good enough to sell and not be ashamed of. All landing gear, flaps, rudders, tailplanes and airbrakes are poseable. Missiles are still on the to-do list.



 At the moment it would consist of the kit in resin, vacformed canopies and some instructions and advice/suggestions. At the moment I'm thinking to not provide it with decals because a) we all have different thoughts about schemes and squadrons that may have ended up operating these and, b) I haven't put any work into designing or sourcing any.

So this thread is to gauge demand so I can figure out supply logistics. I'm thinking to offer it for £50+P&P. If anyone is seriously interested, please comment below or PM. Suggestions are welcome.

Stupid question of the day - what scale is it?

Its 1/72. It was one of the larger submissions, along with the Fairey Delta 3 and the Saunders Roe P.187. It's about the same length as a TSR.2.

I love subjects like this. It would have to be a kit though as opposed to files. I'm interested .

I'm using an Anycubic Mono X2 with the standard grey resin. CAD done in Fusion 360, and sliced in Anycubic Photon.

At the moment I was planning as a kit only. Mainly due to not having looked into the ins and outs of signing up to the likes of Cults3d etc. But never say never.

That does look good, and I am very interested, just not until after Telford.
