Airfix 1/72 BAC TSR-2

February 24, 2025 · in Aviation · 20 · 203

One that had been on my list to do for a long time but the amount of resin that came with the kit scared me off a bit.
The kit, as we all know, has fit issues but with the help of a number of build threads I was forewarned of the areas of concern.

Painted with.
Colourcoats Dark Admiralty Grey, Anti-Flash White and Light Aircraft Grey.
Tamiya Rubber Black, Nato Black, Semi-Gloss Black, Clear Yellow and Gun Metal.
SMS Italian Red.
Xtreme Metals steel and Gun Metal.
Finished with Windsor & Newton Galeria Satin Varnish.

AM Used.
Various CMK Resin sets.
Master Pitot Tube.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,
Alistair

      I took a lot of time trying to get this to look like the subject.
      There was a fair bit of filler used but it looks good in the cabinet, so, I'm happy with that.
