Just received today the new 1/72 Modelsvit Tu-144 kit. And what a kit it is! If you have any doubts about the quality, it is spectacular. It comes in a full-size box, with beautiful cover artwork (a photo of the actual aircraft) and contains nearly 500 pieces. Interestingly, both the wing assembly and fuselage are complete parts, with nicely engraved panel lines. The rest is incredibly detailed: each main landing gear has over 50 parts! Decals are superb, on register and very good color. Two complete markings, plus an extra sheet for the flags and flight deck instruments. Of course, a complete flight deck too. Nose is positionable either in-flight or landing/take-off... but I'm not sure if it's moveable. And the windows are unique. Instead of individual clear parts for each window or decal windows, strips of clear plastic are provided that get attached to the fuselage and then covered by the cheatline decals. Amazing! A sheet of masking stickers is provided for painting the flight deck windows. Instructions are well illustrated and in both English and Russian. The only thing missing is a stand. But I'm going to build this one gear down, so that won't be a problem.
