KingTiger435 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) It was my birthday a few months ago and I decided to treat myself With this BIG BOI https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b0/0d/6b/b00d6b8dd53ee1a7390ae6ab64e35ed4.jpg I was pleasantly surprised to see how neat the box was https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e7/26/af/e726afa47a6eb758b7a2b104bf41a202.jpg Everything was neatly packaged and the larger parts were in the small box which has it's own boxart which was a nice surprise. I started the tail end first, and man, this thing is massive! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d9/b6/38/d9b638f3e5c457b17950c0f7d2e5283e.jpg Here it is in my hand, I'm a small person though, mind you: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/90/1e/09901e322e60a36689f3d202d4a5db0b.jpg I am very happy with the amount of interior details (although it got a bit worse as I got to the front end) https://i.pinimg.com/originals/14/bb/04/14bb04ddb6fcad65e392586a155a6729.jpg Wings added the next day, and, well uh, this is the biggest kit I've made (bigger than the 1:72 victor!) https://i.pinimg.com/originals/13/19/4b/13194bcb89e857ba8bd51a8375b0841c.jpg Here is the front end dry fitted, showing it's true size, the fit is great by the way! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bd/56/7f/bd567f8d1739a3744012cd85ffc411f4.jpg Alright, the cockpit, the disappointing part of the build so far. The ejection seats are great! 11 pieces per seat! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/0c/bd/ce0cbdf853868a28383c8201aecb4a14.jpg The cockpit itself though, very disappointing, looks like mostly guesswork, there are buttons behind where the seats are meant to go and random details. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/696932111071969199/ https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/8e/3b/098e3b7859b47f8258833cb6a2a6fc65.jpg What do you guys think so far? Also, here's your tag @Adam Poultney Aand the images didn't work, I'll fix it in an hour, I'm busy right now Edited September 2, 2020 by KingTiger435 changed title to the truth :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I built it a few years ago..... http://www.flankers-site.co.uk/modl_tu-22m2-trump.html Be aware that Trumpeter got the instructions for the cockpit decals ,wrong - they are reversed!!!! Put the rear decal in front and the front decal into the rear compartment... I also added the black decal with the yellow circle and the white box in the centre console. Note the throttle levers, modified seats, red canopy jettison handles and white box between rear seats........ (and the Playboy magazine!!!) Have fun...

John_W Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Nice. I always think of this as the Soviet B1. Classic Soviet lines, chunky and functional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
