oldfartmodeler Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Greetings all; I am about to start the Airfix TSR-2 kit so while reading the instruction packet I have noticed something odd-at least for me. In Step 12 there is an odd looking 'bomb' that I assume represents a nuclear weapon. Bulbous body with a round nose and vestigual fins toward the rear (as I understand bomb structure). Anyway at this step of construction the builder has the option of installing this weapon or what appears to be long range ferry tanks in the weapons bay. Far enough, however when you move forward to Step 26 and 27, the above mentioned bomb/weapon thingy is illustrated facing backward with the nose facing aft and the fins facing forward??.. Can anyone shed some light on this arrangement or did some unknown illustrator 'screw the pooch' here. Thanks in advance for any history/info on this.

spellbinder99 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The drawings are screwed up, 'tis all! Bomb should face forward as you surmised. Cheers Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
