replicant Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Hello mates, here big new pics of my Blinder made with my newer camera 6500px. Full resolution in flickr download for details. Cant find old thread... New Edit: As for the questions of mates below i took a picture at Nuremberg, Trumpy is not convincing to me.... Cheers, Tom Edited May 28, 2020 by replicant 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-4Guy Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hey, that's a real beast and a very beautiful one! I like the weathering on the engines, very nice job you've done !! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I want to take your Tu-22 out for a few drinks, a nice meal somewhere, a few more drinks at a swanky bar and then see how then night goes...... 😜 What a stunner. Can you take some more photos but on a darker background? Phil 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGKent Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Great! But only very few shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Beautiful! I really like the navigator dangling from his ejection seat under the nose and would love to see a close-up of that detail. That's one of the most interesting design features of the real aircraft to me. I once asked a former Tu-22 navigator if the Blinder was a comfortable aircraft, and he emphatically said "no!"

Vultures1 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Oh I say, that is a stunner! Fantastic work - more photos please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 That shiny metal finish is, dare I say it, blinding 😁 That's a really cracking build though, would love to see more pictures especially of what looks like a pilot about to go up in the seat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Great Blinder, the metallic finish looks splendid. With it's high mounted engines the Blinder really has an distinctive look 👍 Cheers Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Very nice Tom especially with the natural metal / silver finish considering the amount if seams that needed attention during the build process. I like it!!!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Very, very nice. It would be interesting to see how the Modelsvit kit shapes up against the more recent Trumpeter kit. I have both but, in reality, can only complete one so it would be good to know what the general consensus is between these two kits. I'm particularly interested in this aircraft since the Soviets used to operate them 'just down the road' (well 2+ hours drive) from where I live right now. It would be cool to get one of these done in due course. Well Done, Sir ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
