Learstang Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 That does look beautiful! If you look at the tail on the Sotka at Monino, it could take a lifetime to reproduce that weathered finish - each panel is different in some way.

Best Regards, Jason I found this build with all the weathering https://www.lesmaquettistes.com/t572p250-sukhoi-t4-ou-sukhoi-sotka Took him four years........ I had to take a break from this due to work and family stuff getting in the way but it's finished now. The decals cracked up in several places so lots of piecing them back together. I'll get some photos in the gallery but here's one as a teaser! I've really enjoyed this build and the GB, thanks to everyone for making it so good.

BritJet Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Cheers, I really enjoyed building it and it didn't cause any major problems but I'm glad to get it off my desk as it's BIG! Need to find somewhere to put it now...... Gallery photos; Steve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I saw this in the gallery before, pretty damn slack missing it during the GB, but having just had a rummage through this thread, I'm impressed like anything. 👍 I recall this as a youngster, probably from my Observers Books Of Aircraft. Some of these Soviet prtotypes looked & seemed like something out of SF fiction. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been such a large number as well as a wide variety of builds in this GB, I'm sure I haven't seen a lot of them. I need to go through them and catch up! I totally agree with you about the Soviet prototypes of that era, so many wierd and wonderful designs. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
