fly-navy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 That looks really special Tony, indeed will be a thing of beauty when you have finished it, leave the drawing board alone and finish this blighter.

Mark a Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 What will you be using for the main gear the real ones look complicated especially the retract sequence. A friend of mine was going to be one of the technical authors on TSR 2 for the RAF shame it was cancelled I reckon we would of only recently stopped using it had it made it into service. Mark.
