wavodavo Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 FYI - These are Soviet aircraft I like and I'm not in favour of the Russian invasion.

Abandoned Project Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Ooh, nice and shiny Blinders.

GiampieroSilvestri Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Beautiful Tupolev Tu22s! You have not to justify that you put them in.Aircraft are not political and as the colleagues said before there is no politics here on Britmodeller.

Col Walter E Kurtz Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Lovely modelling indeed! There is something indefinably 'unusual ' about these Russian planes I've always thought. I find they look like something almost.. 1950s science fiction about them. I guess they were designed in that era so that's why? Really nice models. Thanks for showing them!

billn53 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Nice collection, they look great! And big even in 1/144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 As someone with a lifetime of experience in maintenance, I wonder how complicated changing an engine would be on the Blinder. Specially design equipment is a must. The Blinder is certainly a large aircraft as shown here. That`s a very nice collection. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I tend to steer clear of 1/144 but your models have me tempted to see if I can find one of these and build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Beautiful collection - such an interesting aircraft! Thanks for sharing. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Great Soviey collection, which of the models did you prefer? Any pros and cons? I absolutely second your other statement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedingBlue Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Nice collection. My favorite Tu-22 factoid is how they got nicknamed the supersonic booze carrier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My unsolicited advice………….may I suggest the new Academy B-1 and B-52 for your 1 / 144 scale “itch” Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely second your other statement.... Thank you. Probably prefer the AWM ones. Resin and definitely not as many small parts as the Mikro Mir ones. They go together nicely. Mikro-Mir - just too many small parts in sections and a cock handed process of assembly. For some reason, both of these kits have the "Excellent Aircraft" badge printed for one side only. I had new ones printed up in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig88 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Wonderful collection. They all look great!! I have the Mikro-Mir kits in my stash and would be very happy if they came out anywhere near as well as yours (when I get round to them).

Maginot Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 That's a nice quartet of Blinders, aka Booze carriers. Always impressed by the exaggerated, arrow-like form of this aircraft and outrageous location of the engines. Very Century 21 Productions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I love them! I've always been a fan of both Russian aircraft and 1/144 scale, and these are beautiful! I'm going to need to build one of these for my tiny collection (tiny in scale, that is...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
