stevej60 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hi folks,I'm at the decalling stage on Revell/ICM's Tu-144,two types of burner can were supplied I used the traditional(looks like a Phantom's) rather than the smooth with a large bulbous centre fitted,Trawling round the web I cant find which serials matched the ones I,ve used! It looks like possibly Revels choices of serials differs from ICM's as a build on finescale has codes not on the Revell sheet with the cans I used,any help would by appreciated.

Pin Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The one "with" cones is Tu-144D, The first Tu-144D wore CCCP-77111, i.e. you can use 77101 to 77110 except 77105 that was converted to "D" specification. 77109 and 77110 were the only ones that flew with PAX There were no 77104 as it was registered as 77144 By series: 01-1 - 77101 01-2 - 77102 02-1 - 77103 02-2 - 77144 03-1 - 77105 converted to "D" 04-1 - 77106 04-2 - 77108 05-1 - 77107 05-2 - 77109 06-1 - 77110 All these planes were slightly different, probably the most prominent difference being the lack of wing tips on some machines - I don't remember the story, can verify, if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hope the OP doesn't mind if I add another question to this thread... are the types of exhausts included in the Revell kit good for both the D and the previous ones ? Or can only one version be built accurately ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Many Thanks Alexey,I can make the codes from those supplied,despite a lot of folk treating the kit with trepidation so far I've found it very enjoyable here's where I am with her now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 With this style of the cheatline you cannot do 77101, 77102 and 77103 as they carried the tail flag in a different position and had red "Ty" logo and door outlines You can do 77144-77110 but you need to make sure your wingtip configuration is correct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thank's again Alexey,I will have to live with the inaccuracies as their was only one style of cheat line supplied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 In this case I would go with 77109 or 77110 - after all only those two were real airliners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Just got myself an ICM Tu-144D (14402) and I'm planning to build OOB as 77112 (I must be ill, OOB and non whif?, that's not me!?) as I have a hankering for something with bare metal engines. My question is, does anybody know if the Bra.Z Kolesov RD36-51A exhaust nozzles have hollow centre cones or is it solid like the kit parts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can take a look, they are lurking somewhere in the spare box 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Just a thought, are they worth buying? Seeing as you have a set lurking in the spares box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not buy them separately, long before ICM Ivo from BraZ has released full resin kit that contained exhausts for both A and D versions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Two questions. Has anyone had any experience using the avia decals AVD144-07? And are the Bra.Z RD-36-51 exhaust nozzles more/less accurate than the kit parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
