bianfuxia Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was going to do a County Class destroyer for this GB but I have changed my mind after examining the stash. This will be one of my two builds: the Tupolev Tu-16 Badger, the K-10 variant which is going to fire insanely big missiles at the NATO surface fleet during this Group Build eyeball to eyeball episode.... This seems like a really nice kit. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 This is an excerpt from Wikipedia, just to verify this monster belongs in the 60s: "Badger C (Tu-16K-10) – Another Naval Aviation variant, units of this version carried a single AS-2 Kipper/K-10S anti-ship missile. 216 built in 1958–1963. It differed from other variants in having a radar in a nose. " 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Cool! Who can fail to be impressed by any machine which carries missiles bigger than some aircraft!?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Great to see the Soviets joining in, NATO vs Warsaw Pact is looking a bit one-sided so far! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) I made a bit of a start: I have to do another coat on that missile but it's started. Watch out, any NATO ships that dare to come my way... Edited July 29, 2018 by bianfuxia 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Finally after a long series of trips and other commitments I am back onto this kit. I put together the rear fuselage today. Fits pretty well though there is a bit of a line where the wing section and the tail section join (just behind the tape). I think it will not be an easy fix so I will probably live with it after a bit of filler. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I have another business trip next week, but after that I think I will be ok until the end of the GB. I've already got every conceivable shade of silver spray paint ready to go, and it's a pretty simple kit, so once I get the cockpit done and attached it should be fairly smooth progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
