1/48th TSR 2 kit

[chris_dorrington]

Hi,

This is more of a plea than a discussion, but Airfix can you, like you have with so many legacy kits, please tool a replacement for you 1/48th TSR 2 kit.

we were all amazed and very grateful when it first came out, but to arrive at anything like a descent build involves a world of pain.

yes, I know that cash was short at the time, but correcting the many inaccuracies involves fitting hundreds of pounds worth of resin bits and struggling with the many other issues I.e. main intakes, tail intake, undercarriage doors, air brakes etc.

Please, this is a very important British aircraft type so can we either have a retooled or replacement kit, I am certain that it would sell - I would buy at least four for a start.

Thanks

Chris

Actually the Airfix kit of the TSR-2 was to 1:72. Hence any 1:48 kit will have to be a new mould.

Patrick, you should check out the History of Airfix Kits

(1) 2008 BAC TSR-2 1.48 - - The Airfix Tribute Forum - (tapatalk.com)

I built one myself as a whiff so no issues with accuracy

And it's not just a nice build, but a good idea too, a Luftwaffe Tiger Meet scheme.

Wow.... completely missed that one! You live and learn! Thanks for pointing that out.

Incidentally Ken, when you post something please press the "post reply" button once .......there were multiple copies of your post waiting to be moderated. It takes time to see a reaction when you click the button.

I think I approved the different ones and deleted the copies ......I hope! wink

Point taken. If I do that, it's finger trouble on my part and not impatience.
