tony.t Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 These could look so cool next to 1/72 Lockheed Blackbirds. I wonder if Trumpy will take on the YF-12A, another giant interceptor in the hundred footer category. And throw in a new tool B-58 modded to Snoopy, which had an elongated nose to test the radar, IRSTS and AIM-47 missiles destined for the 93 ADC F-12B Blackbirds (that were cancelled around 1968). Then add a trials Tu-22 interceptor (too difficult to fly). Then scale the lot up to 1/48 and add a Vulcan and Victor. The mind boggles. Well, you can dream can't you?(!)

general melchett Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Lovely artwork, captures the sleek lines of the aircraft very well...(hopefully, they'll add the 'u' in Tu before release). Great to see the 'Pelican' in mainstream plastic, something I never thought we'd see. The nose section is a complex shape, Amodel did a good job, so here's hoping that Trumpy got it right too.

Pin Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It is too early to judge (especially by vague, distorted photos) but probably it is not a good idea to send your AModel abomination to the bin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no concern on the wing sweep. I believe the side/top/bottom views of the painting/decaling leaflet is made using the CAD model and the wing sweep looks ok. Trumpyboss designers has problems in the past with fuselage cross-section or airfoil evolution in the past... too early to discuss these. How many Tu-128Ms used the Tu-128 fin ?
