She's coming along nicely!

yeah
on the part where you put the wing on is slightly mis-produced in that it makes a crack, ill buy some filler and sort it all out though!

Keep at it mate and show us the progress.

I have 558, still in her box.
My other half bought it for me the year she took to the skies again and I never seem to find the time to get started on her (or the wife ;) )

One day maybe.

Politics? easier to google it mate though hopefully somebody here will enlighten you.

My stepfather (ex now) trained on TSR2 and had nothing but praise for such a fantastic aircraft developed way ahead of it's time. Even now it is a thing of beauty and character imo.
