Rob Probert Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I've been going through my models getting some ready for Telford, and realised I hadn't shared these completed builds with you. 1/72nd scale A-Model Mil Mi6: DSC_0110 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr DSC_0111 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr 1/72nd scale RVHP Beriev Be12: DSC_0134 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr DSC_0137 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr 1/72nd scale A-Model Ilyushin Il-18: DSC_0124 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr DSC_0130 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr and finally Academy's 1/72nd scale B-29 converted to a Tu-4 'Bull' - or more specifically the Chinese's first attempt at an AWACs aircraft known as the KJ-1. This used the Cutting Edge conversion which provided resin Al-20K turboprop engines and the Type 843 Rotodome radar dish: DSC_0116 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr DSC_0120 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr These will all be making the trip to the Nationals, and hopefully I'll see a few of you there.

Pete in Lincs Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Big Russians? I was expecting their female shot putting team. I got a pleasant surprise instead. All very impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housesparrow Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) IIrc, I read that once upon a time, some US B-29's ended up landing in the Soviet Union, and the novel airframe design was copied. The Russians then made the Tu-4 based on the B-29 design, and eventually that helped them build the Tu-95 Bear.

Rich G Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Some really nice unique models, I really like the unique KJ-1, can't say I've ever seen one modelled before. Really well done, they all look superb! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Very nice set of models! - BTW - it is rather Iliushin Il-38, the far development of Il-18 rather then Il-18 itself, I think... Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Great work on each one, all uncommon subjects, the KJ-1 is my personal favourite but they all deserve praise. Pity I'm not going to the Nationals as I'd love to take a closer look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
