 Heck, its the TSR-2, it'd look great naked...( Come to think of it, I don't think I have seen one in
 a natural metal finish yet. ) but its really nice in FAA colors as well. Nicely done!

Ive seen one in natural metal... It was a american chap who ran a company making metal finishes so it was kinda a advertisment for the firm...

And yes it looked awesome in NM too...

Back to this one though... Tidy build i like it !!

Welcome, Smeds! I love the TSR-2 - really stylish! I shudder to think how big an aircraft carrier you'd need to give it enough runway...
