Tactical Strike Reconnaissance dummy aircraft

The quality silk screen decal sheet comes with lots of stencills which we have measured at the RAF museum, very authentic.

The fuselage parts are splited into front and rear halves.
The large delta wing is one piece and is designed to sit on the fuselage accurately. It requires almost no filler.
The characteristic and complicated landing gears come as precise whitemetal parts..

The assembled model is 57cm, nearly 2 feet long.
Though the size of the kit, the parts arrangement is simple and easy for the assembly.

The kit is an accurate replica of the TSR-2 (XR220) displayed in the Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford, England.

It saved some money for the Labour goverment's budget, but ruined the capability of the British aircraft industry to develop a super sonic aircraft on thier own to date.

Instead of the beautiful TSR-2, the RAF was promised to be equipped with 55 of American F111s. But this was also cancelled, and at the end, alas, they finished up with NAVY's un-atractive Buccaneers.

The TSR-2 made her maiden flight succesfully with Bristol Olympus 22R jet engines on 7th. September 1964.
Initial test flights showed the aircraft's great performance. However, the new Labour goverment did not like its awfully expensive development costs, and axed the project in April 1965.
