falcon Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Finally got my Trumpeter 1/72 Badger finished. It has been on the shelf of doom for about 3 years.The build itself was done over 3 years ago but the paint job got messed up.Typical Trumpeter kit from what I recall. Decals are absolute garbage and I don't expect them to stay on long.Photos taken with a smartphone, so sorry for the quality. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Beautiful Badger, i am glad you have recovered it. Did Trumpys Tu-16 G roughly a decade before, its a nice but big kit and as you said the decals were on the weak side. Good that these cold war machines didn t have much stencils or so. To get this kit on its legs i metal weight embedded with a plastcine. This stuff started after some years in to melt the plasic. The Badger had become a full loss. The Tu-16 is one of my favorite jet bombers due to its elegant form, you have captured this very well with your clean build and the nice NMF. Well done. now the Tu-95? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Great build of a very impressive plane! Shame about the decals, although finding a few red stars on the after market should not be too hard. So there is hope! Congrats on your perseverance. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Nice Badger! Handsome aeroplane (although this version could perhaps use a good nose job!) and you did a good job on it. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
