These are both the new Airfix 1/48 TSR.2, which isn't the most refined kit in the world, but builds up very nicely into a great looking plane. Oh, and its BIG!

The 'Raspberry Ripple' Empire Test Pilots School aircraft is build straight from the box, with the addition of Xtradecal decals from one of their great what-if sheets. The other aircraft has some minor scratchbuilt additions to update the TSR.2 to how it may have looked had it remained in service until the Gulf War, with decals mainly from an Xtradecal sheet of Gulf War Buccs.

I would recommend this kit, and I'm sorely tempted to do another one, Swedish splinter pattern camo maybe..... :o
