What distracted me from 1216's

[Geoff_B]

After looking at Overscans link 10 days ago of the CGI TSR-2 art i made the mistake of looking at some of the others by the same artist and noticed one that appeared suitable to my construction methods and one that i also had the drawings for... The Hawker 1134 Mach 3-4 Test Aircraft



where to start ....



And my model so far...



Still to sort out a U/C and detail the Ram jet exhausts but i hope you like it.

Cheers

*sigh*

you are like the ANTI me - i'd just be drawing her and thinking what a sweet plane she was, and feel sorry for myself...maybe start it but lose heart...

YOU on the other hand have semi casually thrown together a masterpiece, again.

abso-fecking-lutely great stuff geoff - you gonna keep her as a period piece in the anti flash or we having another scheme?

recce version?

i may have wood.

Awesome Geoff!

Can't wait to see the end results!

 

[elmayerle]

Hmm, perhaps you can clone some bits from a XF-103 aft section to do the ramjets?

[viper29_ca]

Amazing the similarity to the Avro Arrow!!

[Captain Canada]

Wicked, Geoff ! You are the King !

I could see a ramp full of them now....awesome looking bird, eh ?

And it does share some similarities with the Arrow !

And I noticed the Husky in the background, you dirty.........my local shop is trying to find a place to get them. I can get them from UDISCO or whatever they're called, but they're a bunch of low-ball assholes I've heard.

But desperate times......

 

[Ollie]

Yes, UDISCO are a bunch of SOBs...

They are 20 minutes from my place.

She's a bit smaller than the Arrow, and alot faster but with a very small range due to less than an hours fuel. An operational version would require a large belly tank i fear. Powered by single jet engine with two ram jets on on either side to push the aircraft past mach 3.

As for the Husky its a rather nice little kit and we should see the other two more convential versions by the end of the year.
