Time To Take A Look

 BAC TSR.2 It's arrived. I have, in my hands, thanks to my local model shop and Janet, an Airfix TSR.2. At last :-D

Still no sign of my exclusive Airfix one, with it's next-day delivery postage. Reading the Airfix forum's those abroad have received their's, and some UK people. But there's quite a few who've not had any news, or deliveries :-( And, I hear, it's being delivered by ANC, the local office for which is in Harlow. So, a long drive to go and collect when they can't deliver it some day this week :-(

Can't complain though, it has to be the best kit produced by Airfix I've ever seen. The quality of detail, the rather unique way the parts are broken down (not the usual 2 fuselage halves affair of old), and a set of decals which are in register at last. All in all a good sign that things are on the up after years of minimal investment and new build kits. Looking forward to the Nimrod later in the year, a kit I remember talking about with Trevor Snowden many, many moons ago in the tiny offices of Marfleet Lane ;-) You can grab lots of online pics on various sites, some of the best can be found on Hyperscale.
