After searching high and low on the net, I walked into a Brisbane hobby shop on Wednesday and they had FOUR (count 'em, FOUR!) sitting on the shelf. Picked up two, didn't have the cash for the others. When I get organised, I'll put 'em on the Visa and get them shipped up this-a-way. Not a great kit, but good to have it in injection 72th at last.
Thanks to those who offered to help in the quest.

Probably the only 4 in Oz........:)

My friend in Scotland wasn't able to get one for me. :-(
Hope that he has better luck with the Nimrod.

You could always go for membership then get 'first dibs' on a kit.

That's funny, as the distribution of the TSR seems to be a bit hit and miss here in Australia. Some of the hobby retailers I've talked to haven't seen their orders yet (and some of them are big shops, too) and one in particular said he doesn't expect to get any at all! And then I visit a shop that I usually don't bother going to as their stock holdings are generally less than impressive, and there's 4 of them. Like I said, a bit funny...
But thanks for the heads-up - I'll look into it further and let the guys in the local club know.

You're not missing much, Tom - it's a fairly ordinary effort. If you get really stuck though, let me know - I'll see what I can do from here (although postage is a killer from Aussie)

Please e-mail me off sight.
While I realize that it's not that good of a kit I have wanted an injection molded TSR-2 for decades. I don't build for competition so I should be happy with the results.

also Skyway Model Shop still has a bunch; you can check out the website at
