SCOUTING FOR SPACEX

The Kev Davies shipyards have revealed the latest in the 'real world' Spacex, the SR-71 inspired Reconnaisance 2. Kev has used an off the shelf Blackbird kit for a conversion, rather than a total scratchbuild, proving that the R2 is indeed based on a skunk works classified plane!

  1. Another lovely piece of work! And most effectively retro-engineered. :)

  2. Great work! The nose of the R2 is more like the SR71's sister plane - the YF12A though. :)

  3. Never heard of it before, but there doesn't seem to be a small enough kit of it.

  4. Yeah, I remember getting the 1/72nd scale Revell SR71 and YF-12 version years ago. The kits were massive! The YF-12A was armed with missiles, whereas the SR71 was the spy plane version. Your models are awesome. Well done!
