Eddie,
have you figured out how to use your camera yet?
I'm sure we'd all love to see some pics of the TSR2.
I have some shamefully bad photos of the actual aircraft, so I'll post them
in a folder in the photo gallery.
Tom.

Subject: [themodelcatalogue] The worlds most eagerly awaited kit
arrives! Hurrah, or so it may seem....


Hello all, havent posted for a while, been V busy..
Picture the scene, been waiting for 17 months for an order to
arrive, the posty has dropped a little red card through the letter
box, with trepidation head to the post office and retrieve the
precious package, home again. As the package is opened, HOORAY!!
TSR.2!! Initial impression, WOW, AT LAST! Open box, white plastic,
no more 3 gallon paint jobs (You know the ones, dark grey plastic
showing through until the umpteenth coat), detail is fantastic
(Except the obligatory airfix dining chair ejector seats..) Now for
building. Fairly good start, 164 gone solid, new can has no pigment,
3rd time lucky, all goes smoothly until the first bits start going
together, erm, is this made of plastic or bakelite, liquid poly and
poly cement wont touch the b****y stuff! Another small problem is
THE WINGS DONT FIT!! never mind, out with the emery paper, hmmm,
waited best part of a year and a half for this , they could have got
the bugger right... something missing from the painting instructions
is the flap detail, should have a dark finish for XR219, where they
were not painted due to the blown flaps, and 27003 polished steel
looks a lot better on the exhaust shroud than silver fox as the
shroud is a steel/titanium alloy. If any one want photos (comedy or
otherwise) of the build please feel free to e-mail me and I shall
endevour to work out how the digital camera works!!
