zebra Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just finished my Amodel 1/72 Tu-134A as an aircraft of Kazaviaspas, the air operation of the Kazakhstan Ministry of Emergency Situations. The choice of colour scheme might sound a bit odd - I wanted to build it as an aircraft that's currently (or at least recently) in service, which narrows it down, and a colour scheme where I could print the decals myself, so after some googling I hit on this one. It was an enjoyable build - not straightforward, challenging enough to make it interesting but never frustrating. I used the Neomega engine details and Armory wheels, and KV masks, so pretty much all the aftermarket that's available for this kit. Decals were home made - my first attempt at decal printing, and pretty pleased with how they came out. WIP thread is here On to the photos (apologies for the state of the table top, really should have cleaned it!): 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Very nice looking Tu - flawless looking and inspiring. Especially the cockpit transparencies look spot-on. The finish too. For me the Tu-134 is the most beautiful jetliner ever built. Your pics just brought this kit a few notches higher up on my wish list for sure.

Jure Miljevic Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hello! Congratulations on your Tu-134 kit, Julian. Sharp looking airliner model, built in under two months, a neck breaking pace for this size of a kit. Cheers Jure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Wonderful build and the decals look very nice as well. A nice tribute to this soviet classic. I recently received my TU-134 kit ( in LOT scheme) and hope to get it started soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rholland Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Beautiful model, well done! I find it faintly ironic that the wonderfully titled "Ministry of Emergency Situations" uses the Tu-134, which has in its time generated several such situations...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Zebra: this is a result to celebrate! I saw this earlier when I was merely a lurker on Britmodeller. Now I can sing your praises--excellent work on this beast from another "veteran." Beautiful color scheme, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Beautiful job! I love Amodel subjects; although, knowing they're not as straightforward as many other kits (the Tamiyas, Hasegawas, etc.), I find your work most praiseworthy. 👍👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
