occa Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I especially look forward to the float version, hope they'll do that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Great news and it looks good! I hope they also do the Arctic version with the enclosed canopy. One of these has actually been preserved in Russia. I suspect it got a visit from the good folks at MicroMir. I'll be the first to say it - now please bring on the TB-3 in all its different versions!

Flankerman Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) The 'Aviaarktika' example is at Ulyanovsk - I have some old print photos I took somewhere. In the meantime, Googling 'ANT-4 Ulyanovsk' will find plenty of pics. http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/7/7/1/1528177.jpg Ken Edited October 18, 2015 by Flankerman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tali Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 MikroMir started shipments of TB-1 to the shops... And they announced Argosy in 1/144 on GreenMats. No dates, CADs, or any other pictures for now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tali Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 We found Red 4 in the kit decal but there is no such variant in the instruction. We google then and found this picture. May be (!) it will be future release. I don't know... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 There is profile (painting scheme) http://www.cris9.armforc.ru/images/tb1_6.jpg of transport version G-1 from WWII (1943) - that will be my conversion! Cheers J-W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 That would be a nice one, J-W, with the enclosed canopy and the turret. And it's a Great Patriotic War version also. If (when) I buy one, I'll probably do some sort of GPW version. Regards, Jason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Received mine on Friday - very pleased, looks fabulous on sprues, hopefully will come together nicely as well. One of the transparent parts was damaged however HobbyTerra guys responded quickly and suggested replacement - another "+" to karma for them. Parts breakdown suggests a version on floats as well as G-1 - these rumors were confirmed by MicroMir guys so no need for conversion - if you need G-1 just wait.
