From the Airfix web site;
We are now in a position to give dates on TSR.2 availability. The kits are due in the country on February 15th and, assuming no delays with customs, will start shipping week commencing February 20th. Customers can expect to see the first kits appearing in shops later that week, with other stockists following shortly afterwards.
Club members will have exclusive access to a further 250 kits which will be pre-sold on Airfix.com shortly and strictly limited to 2 kits per club member. As we expect this offer to offer be over-subscribed, we will advertise the timing in advance to ensure fairness to all.
The February edition of Scale Aviation Modeller International, available to buy shortly, features an exclusive first look at the TSR.2 via pre-production test shots.
Kind regards
Gary Bent
Must....buy....Feb....SAMI.....

Cheers

*dances little dance of joy*
And the Feb issue of SAMI should be out in the next few days :party:
TSR2 group build anyone? B)
Hehe, you'll never guess what just popped through my letterbox...
I've only got a few minutes because we're going away this weekend and I've got stuff to do, no time to do more detailed shots (plus copyright issues, which I'm already kinda infringing on)
quickly scanning the article, the aithor (Gary Hatcher) is very impressed with it - especially considering its only a test shot.
I'm sure Lee and Joe will go throught the article with a fine tooth comb and give us their experten verdict :)
Article looks good and that last picture certainly looks nose down to me. Love that the main undercarriage doors even have the correct holes in them.
Hope that copy will be at work when i get back next week....;)
cheers
Tony
Repeat...earlier...comment... :wub: :wub:
Sorry to be a spoil sport chaps. But at my reqest Geoff/Thorvic has deleted the pics in Nevs reponce. Why? SAM publications have a new much more heavy handed policy regarding copy right, including the web. basicly deneying the use of any part of any of their publications to web sites (how ever inocent) with out the permision of SAM publication. In other words were covering the sites arse.
In future lads, make sure u read the copy right first before "doing the lads a favor" and posting up bits of interest. And save your self a posible legal head ache
Thanks for the update Bruce, let's hope Wooksta leaves enough for Canada to get one! :P
Don't forget me and Tony, Rat! We want at least one each!

Mail me a breeding pair of Tuataras, then maybe we can, uh, do a little business...

Martin, I understand where you're coming from - that was why I purposely took lo-res, far-away photos, rather than up-close detailed scans. My pictures weren't big enough to examine the articles photos, nor read the text.
I wanted to post the pictures of the magazine to show people that yes there truly was an article on the Airfix TSR2 in this months SAMI, and yes the magazine was out. People on the internet are notoriously mistrustful and if I had just said "I have the mag and it says x, y, z", somebody somewhere would have called me a liar. In fact, pictures of a magazine aren't enough proof for some folk, but thats another story... <_<

Yes, smuggling endangered dinosaurs, that's
muuuuuuch easier than buying more than one TSR.2 in New Zealand... :rolleyes:
Nev, you could have given us a link to SAMI's website, they always show the current issue.
Anyways, we're long overdue for the November issue here.
I guess the "Santa Maria" got sunk by a U-Boat.
:(
Can't order any TSR2s in my local hobby shop. :angry: I guess that project, and my export plans to deserving modellers elsewhere will have to wait until Airfix get a true feel for customer demand. They didn't pull this 'limited run' nonsense with their popular 48th Hawks eh... I shall remonstrate with Uncle Trevor at 'udders.
:ar:
Probably a daft question and no upset is intended, but why didn't you order one, long, long ago, when the rest of us did? Besides a crack at the Airfix Club Members edition, I've got 'em coming from Hannants, Models2U and Preston Transport Models.

WHAT?!?!? Oh c'mon Phil tell me you can track down at least 2 for me? :o :(
Martin H did say - when I queried in Novemeber - don't worry you'll be able to get them no probs.
Tried to order here ahead of release, about the same timeframe as I did for 48th Hawks which I then mailed to SA friends. Brad, you'd have been first in line, our mutual friend in Buenos Aires second, then me third. And vague notions for a fourth, but could resort to resin for that. Will the supposed availability kill the Heritage resin off though, leaving us with.. none at all - until Airfix accountants see the light?
To think many here want half a dozen or so each.
What the hell are they playing at with 10000? They sold more 1/24 Harriers than that.
Phil. I have two posible sources for the kit lined up. Ill have a chat with u at MK.
ok cheers Martin. We must chat in 10 or so days time, cos as you can see, Scooterman is distressed, we need to put him out of his TSR woes and misery eh. I can afford to wait a year or three, my 2 silly WIFs can easily wait another day.
