BallsBuster Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi, Perhaps some one may know- Trumpeter produces two Tu-22M kits M2 and M3- is the plastic in the boxes identical? I.e can I build an M3 from the parts in the box of M2? Thanks K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 No, not the same plastic. Lots of common parts but the M2 kit is missing at least the M3 intakes, blow-in doors and nose cone. I think the ejection seats are also different, though they are wrong in both M2 and M3 kits so that may not be an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallsBuster Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Thank you... Ah... well, will have to do an M2 first.... Edited January 28, 2017 by BallsBuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 FWIW, by build of the M2 is here. Note that the front and rear instrument decals are reversed on Trumpeter's instruction sheet! - just swap them over. Plus the main undercarriage retraction strut (I can't remember the part number) - should connect up into the mainwheel bay - it is shown on the instructions as just 'floating' IIRC. Also - NeOmega do a set of the correct KT-1 ejection seats....... Have fun with your build! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsepajev Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 NeOmega has also a complete Tu-22M2/M3 cockpit set.http://www.neomega-resin.com/172nd-tu-22m23-231-p.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
