A quick little OOB build to regain modelling mojo.

Oh wow, now that is lovely build of a superbly pointy aircraft. Lovely weathering too.  Great stuff 👍

Such a mean looking beast!!

Love it!

 

[RMCS]

Excellent skills

Your choice for a business jet with combat radar. Great build and a really cool scheme, it could easily pass for a larger scale IMO.

[dragan_mig31]

I like it a lot

That's a really nice job, I believe the UBL is the only version of the 134 still flying. Neat looking jet.

I built the RusAir 134 last year.

Thank you for your comments, everybody!

Lovely build, can't recall seeing one done before.

[Tim R-T-C]

Lovely work and a nice finish.

 

How did you find the kit to build? I've been eyeballing it for a while.

[Mountain goat]

Rather superb - I'm in awe! One of those builds that need a bookmark.

I really like your build and the very subtle weathering. I am now also very tempted by the kit even if I am a 1/48 guy

It's pretty straightforward kit to build. A little bit of putty was needed on the inside of the intakes, but as they are so narrow, you'll have a hard time seeing that seam anyway. And the fit of the nose wasn't best, but a tiny bit of putty solved that as well...

So clean and perfect! I would never say it is a 1/144 model.
