Thank you all for your very kind comments. 😉
Definitely a shame it was cancelled... it a huge beast of a Airplane. If you get the chance you can see one of the survivors at IWM Duxford or RAF Cosford.

Neil, Not many of these kits appear on e bay nowadays and normally go for stupid money...The kit was originally priced around the £30 mark.....you'll be lucky if can get one for under 70 quid today..! I really can't see Airfix re-realising this kit or engineering a new one....so... Good luck on your hunt... 👍

Hi Gary, yeap you're not wrong mate. I do keep an eye on eBay for one that may pop up for a more reasonable sum. But they seem to be getting north of £90 with regularity these days. Funnily enough we visited Cambridge last summer for a wedding and I dragged my 'team' there over the weekend... It was a lovely day, you could spend a week there. I hadn't been for some time and enjoyed the specific American hanger too. I keep meaning to add an album on here as I snapped off a lot of pics! Great build again mate 👍

Imagine if the Arrow and TSR had NOT been killed by my (USA) country's greedy aviation giants and spineless 'leaders'?

The schemes alone for those beautiful planes - An Arrow in South African camo? A TSR in a Luftwaffe Splinter?

Thank you very much Gents.

Casey, not completely down to the U.S. has once the U.K. had a general election at the end of 1964 the incoming Labour Government who it was widely known for their lack of support of the project quickly put the TSR under the hammer. If the project had gone forward then i think of the what if's....South Africa i feel would have been a strong contender along with Australia, Saudi Arabia, India and maybe the US if the F-111 didn't work out.
