YURY Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) The Tupolev Tu-22M (Russian: Туполев Ту-22М; NATO reporting name: Backfire) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing, long-range strategic and maritime strike bomber developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau. According to some sources, the bomber was believed to be designated Tu-26 at one time. During the Cold War, the Tu-22M was operated by the Soviet Air Force (VVS) in a strategic bombing role, and by the Soviet Naval Aviation(Aviacija Vojenno-Morskogo Flota, AVMF) in a long-range maritime anti-shipping role.[2] Significant numbers remain in service with the Russian Air Force, and as of 2014 more than 100 Tu-22Ms are in use.[3] Edited October 18, 2017 by YURY 40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Great model and great weathering. The photos of the real thing show that the deteriorated paint scheme is in no way overdone on the model. How did you make the patches of yellow primer shining through the grey camo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 A superb looking model Yury. A really authentic looking paint finish and great weathering. Your photography is excellent too. You can almost hear those two Kuznetsov engines tearing the sky apart. Perhaps you could photoshop some smoke trails on to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Фотографии реальной вещи показывают, что ухудшенная схема краски никоим образом не преувеличивает модель. Как вы сделали пятна желтого праймера, сияющего сквозь серый камуфляж? 4 hours ago, Doc72 said: Great model and great weathering.
