This is a real behemoth, and it will be a challenge to be able to keep it from overflowing off of the bench and onto a secondary surface. Plus, I'll be building a Corsair at the same time. I hope the two don't end up as one build!
Here's the box art. Very nice...
Here are the sprue...
Just kidding! Here are some better images...
More sprue plus the profile...the scheme of colouring...skhema okraski...aka, light grey...
So...do I have enough grey paint?
Is there space in the cabinet for the finished build?
This is, by far, the largest model I have ever built--in any scale. Much larger than the C-119...
A real Soviet leviathan of the air, up there with their parasite-carrying bombers of WW2 and all the other Extremely Large Designs (ELD) the Russians have graced us with. Mother Russia, you are a large place and so you demand a larger machine.
