I'd be VERY curious to learn more about the film mentioned in this post. Soviet portrayals of Americans in a cold war context on film are of great interest to me. As a side note, I've always been fascinated by the Soviet use of Balts to portray Americans -- my wife's best friend is 100% Lithuanian, as is my sister-in-law, and both have large extended families who all look to my eye quite different from the "Average American", whatever that is.

They did not look "Soviet" either, that was good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Great photos in the gallery...especially the ones showing the UT and Tu-124 landing on what looks at first glance to be a beach ! (compression effect of telephoto lenses but it looks good).....bet the sea air did wonders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 This is very interesting news ! As I never managed to lay my hands on the Amodel kit, I guess I'd better wait for this one to become available.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think this is one of those moments when you realise that you would rather fancy having a model of one those (the Tu-128), but then you remember that you may have a storage problem if you were to build it. I probably will buy one, but I fear that it'll end up a "box queen" just like the Trumpeter Tu-16K and Airfix Nimrod I already have!

Flankerman Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I wonder if it will include the square-tipped fin of later updated Tu-128M's ???? That would be nice - to go with my earlier Amodel Tu-128. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
