TSR-2 was one of the sweetest-looking planes ever built. Corgi has an
outstanding 1:72 diecast out. I have one! :-)
Arrow was more in that hulking, F-4 Phantom raw, brute, "I'll fly because
I say so" look. However, we in the US have the Arrow cancellation to thank
for allowing us to make it to the Moon, so you take what you can get.
Actually I think you're missing a few of the UK aborted prototypes, but I
didn't try really hard on my US list, trying to stick with only the
"multi-role, all-things-to-all-people" projects. That's why I left off
F-22, because her faults are not due to that, just basic US over-reach in
general.

Yeah, when I heard that they had a 70-some aircraft flypast for ERII, I
thought the RAF must have had to put everything they owned in the air,
plus borrow some from the RN and France.
