Col. Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Nice subject choice Rod. The lack of aftermarket is unusual these days but will at least make for a simpler and quicker project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 It certainly sticks out a lot in front. Is the photographer compensating for its lack of potency, ie aircraft? 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 For a fully functional Kuznetsov, it'll need some tugs. Kidding aside, it's a good looking model and I like the lil aircraft. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
