Mig88 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) This is my Tupolev Tu-128 "Fiddler B" Red 01, unit unknown, of the IA-PVO, Russia, USSR, which I built in 2012. It's a 1:144 resin bonus kit of the Tu-22K Blinder-B boxing (one hell of a bonus kit!). Built mostly OOB, correcting the position of the main undercarriage legs and putting the doors as they should be as opposed to what was suggested in the minimal instructions. I added various aerials and lumps from stretched sprue and scrap plastic as well as missing u/c retraction arms or struts. The kit was completely painted and varnished by brush. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome Miguel Edited December 7, 2018 by Mig88 Text correction 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 This is beautiful! What a neat aircraft too. I've got this in my stash and it was a great deal to get the Tu-128 and the Tu-22 at the same time. You did a terrific job with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Only just seen this; great build. I know they are big but a quick comparison shows that apparently these things come in at nearly 30 feet longer than a Lancaster bomber. Good grief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig88 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Once again, thanks to everyone. If I recall correctly, the Tu-128 is the biggest fighter ever built though it would be more correct to call it an interceptor! Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
