Description Not your average TSR-2! This is the TSR-2MS missile-carrying high-altitude interceptor from the anime series Stratos 4. In the show, it is used to shoot down things such as meteors and a space station. It is based at Shimoji-shima and takes off from a ZLL launcher towed by a MAZ-537 truck. Differences from the regular TSR-2 include wing-mounted RATO bottles, tail-mounted rocket, nose-mounted RCS thrusters, hardpoints for carrying missiles, a single-piece canopy, and a different cockpit layout with the crew flying in the prone position.

------
About time I finished this! I got this kit for my birthday (in January) and since then I've built 4 other aircraft and a tank! As you might be able to tell, some parts (the gear bay doors and canopy in particular) don't fit together very well. The canopy probably was meant to be positioned open to see the new cockpit, but who flies to 150,000 feet with their canopy open?!

Awesome, have seen this a few times on ebay but have not gotten a hold of one yet! It's a rare item, that's for sure! Also, not many people are really into this series, either- which is a shame!

Thanks!

I actually found out about it when I saw the boxart of this kit. I was like "Wat? An anime with a TSR-2? Must watch immediately!"

Go for it, awesome anime! Too bad is kinda underrated and unknown by most.

I already watched it last summer! Yeah, other shows with planes are more well-known like Area 88. Maybe because the jets blow each other up, and everybody loves explosions. Then again, Stratos 4 has space nukes!

nice job, I saw the show once and it wasn't bad so it was pretty cool when Airfix released this.

Thanks! It would be good if they released some of the other aircraft from the show too

Thanks
Apparently it's an issue with the molds as others have had the same problem with their MS variants.
