It's finished - but I'm not happy with it.....
It was a struggle all the way through - but I finally beat it into submission.....
Sukhoi Su-17 Type R :- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-17_(1949)
The whole front fuselage section could be detached in emergencies to act as an escape capsule.....
As well as the undercarriage being ill-fitting and rather weak, the final indignity is that it's a tail sitter !! - so I had to make a prop from clear rod....
It is a welcome addition to my collection of Soviet/Russian types, so thanks A&A Models....
But it was hard work - and it 'Stole my Joy' in the end....
