Michael louey Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi Nikos, You've done a great job on the Tu 22. It's always impressed me with it's look and the guys at NATO must have thought the same giving it a supportive name instead of the derogatory ones they sometimes used ("Barge", "Forger", "Fagot"). Pity (or good for us in the West) that it sounds like its performance didn't match its looks. Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Excellent! A fine build of a magnificent machine. Well done. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hothersall Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 A nice build of the ESCI kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks guys. The name Blinder gave by NATO becuse it has low visibility throught the pilot cockpit. It is an impressive aircraft with many problems. F.E Pilots cannot ejected from upper side exept of one. Many engines problems was the cause for many accidents. It was a" heavy pedals" aircraft, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
