Adam Poultney Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 My second build for the Unarmed Group Build is an Academy Tupolev Tu144S in 1/360 scale, painted as CCCP-77102 which was the aircraft that sadly crashed at the 1973 Paris Airshow. The build was not the easiest, but it went quickly. Decals are rather inaccurate but surprisingly applied quite well despite being 30 years old. Just going to ignore the lack of underwing serials.... They aren't included. Or more accurately, overwing ones aren't but I put the underwing ones on the top of the wing because I'd rather have them missing underneath where I'm less likely to see it all the time. The blue stripes on the wing and underside of the front of the fuselage were painted because there are no decals no those either. Probably should have just spent a day or two designing my own to use... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/727-unarmed-gb/ WIP thread ^^ Bit of a side note but this box art is awesome And soon I'll build this bigger one 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Very nice work. A Tu-144 is a most welcome sight in every scale. I never knew that Academy has one out. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy350 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Looks like a lovely little build, never seen this scale before, what length is it? Good luck wit the 1/144 scale, are you using aftermarket parts for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1/144 is using aftermarket decals and jetpipes to make the Tu144LL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
