Rod The Fixer Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi mates, i'm assembling this 1/144 Amodel kit: The Beriev Be-10, also known as Izdelye M, (NATO reporting name: Mallow) was a twin engined, turbojet powered, flying-boat, patrol bomber built by the Soviet Union from 1955. The Be-10 is an all-metal high-wing monoplane with the engines located beneath the wing roots and with splayed-out tailpipes. To minimize the risk of water ingestion, the engine air intakes are located on the forward fuselage section with spray fences on either side of the bow protecting the engines from water ingestion. The fuselage was a two step design with a high length to beam ratio to improve rough water handling, v-section planing bottom, two steps and was divided into nine water-tight compartments the forward and rear compartments being pressurised. Engine nacelles for the Lyul'ka AL-7F engines were attached to the fuselage sides under the wing centre-section. Initial assembling steps: First layer of primer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Very nice. For an Amodel kit it seems to be very well moulded and fits pretty well together too. I enjoy Amodel kits, they're fun to work with. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Nice work! As somebody who's built several Amodel 1/144 kits, I truly appreciate the work you've done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Brilliant job on that Mallow! Now you need to tackle the 1/72nd scale kit of it (I have that kit - I know it will be a bit of a challenge, but what a great-looking aeroplane!).
