Title: Operational Requirement F.155T
Post by: The Big Gimper on April 03, 2016, 09:51:44 PM

Given the interest on the SR.187/F.155T program, I though it would be best to start a new topic.

Here is the SR.187

As portrayed by our own RP1.

Her F.155T page is here (http://www.rp-one.net/f_155_t/f155t.html).

There is potential for a Vickers Armstrong (Supermarine) Type 559 (see below) model soon:

See here (http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,22375.0/all.html). Test shot below in 1/72:

I have been trying to convince Jozef to also offer it in 1/48.

There is another website, http://www.spaceuk.org/, (http://www.spaceuk.org/,) which has a few pages on The Rocket Powered Interceptor Aircraft.

There is a sub-page, Rocket Interceptors and the SR53 (http://www.spaceuk.org/sr53/f155/f155.htm), which has additional information on the SR.53, SR.177 and the P.187.

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the data presented here.

Would a 1/72 AVRO 720 make a good basis for a potential 1/144 AVRO 729?

(I have an awful sense of scale, after all......)
