Without any prior notification from Hannants, a large parcel arrived today containing a 1/48 TSR2!

I've only got as far as opening the box so far, but it looks pretty darned good. It'll be awhile before I get to build it (unless I get impatient and it jumps the queue)........now, will it be white or a 'what if'?

Hi Dave

That's really exciting!

Can you do a First Look Review of it for us?

All the best

Give me a chance to open the bags and take some photos and I'll see what I can do!

Hi Dave

Fantastic! I'm trying SO hard not to buy more kits (I've managed to keep to my New Year's Resolution so far...), but I can tell I'll have to grab one of these! I'll justify it as my patriotic duty to do my bit for the economy!

All the best

Many thanks Dave!

Wow! That was a quick turnaround! Your Review is live, and I've copied the pics if you want to clear your gallery space.

Now, can I resist going to look in the LHS this afternoon!...

All the best

Thanks mate

I still can't decide on a white finish or a 'what if', but I guess I have time to make that choice!

I have a distinct feeling that when my current diorama is finished this 'plane could well jump the queue!
