Not sure if anyone has seen this, looks like a 2011 piece of news!

I'd love one of these. I saw the first release a year or two ago and liked it then. This is the Canadian TSR2!

Yep agree with Bigbear "This is the Canadian TSR2" both planes years ahead of their time, both cancelled by penny pinching governments with no foresight.
Such a shame!

My Uncle worked on the Arrow like hundreds of other aero workers and was made redundant just like all them. He always resented what happened. Politics and US aeroplane manufacturing strength.

I have the first release (RL203) and it's a lovely model (big too!) although lack of space means it's never actually been on display yet. If I get a chance I'll take some photos and post them later. I believe the casting was produced for CWH by Hobbymaster.

Bit of info on one of my other 'haunts' here:

This mock up is in the National Aviation Museum in Ottawa

Old and new


Is it mocked up internally as well or just an outer shell?
