exdraken Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 a great cold war beast... I decided quite some time ago to build in 1/48.... but that basically excludes all bomber/ transports etc... because of mainly availability and of course space.... so omitting 1/72, I get models basically similar in size as 1/48 fighter aircraft when choosing 1/144... my first Micro-Mir model, definitely not for the pure beginners! short run kit, but fit, especially the crucial transparent window parts was fantastic to say the least! but I already have a second one waiting in the stash,,.. instructions could be bigger, especially for the window masks that are a true pain to identify.... tiny and .... but they worked out fantastic in the end to my surprise! work in progress here (actually started out in the Bomber etc. group build this spring ) LINK some photos, not in optimal light.. sorry it is not small at all..., just full length air intakes! hope you like my late(r) Bison! in size and shape comparison with a slightly more modern B-2 thanks for comments, critisimn, etc.. cheers, Werner 72 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Lovely job with the Bison Werner, you've stoked my interest in this beast again. Im a great fan of the very large Amodel kits and have always wanted to build one of these in 1/72. I think I can feel a house move coming on with more model storage facilities🤔 Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 It looked bigger until you picked it up. Very imposing aircraft and model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Indigo Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 It's mainly the bubble windows that give the scale away, your build is flawless. Those rails must be hair-thin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
