Homebee Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) Titan Model Kits is reported working on a 1/48th (& 1/32nd ?) Tupolev Tu-22 "Blinder" kit. To be confirmed. Still looking for a reliable source. V.P. Edited February 25 by Homebee 6 1
Specter1075 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Wow, I wasn't expecting that. If he gets to doing a M3, I'll be a happy boy! 2

Sebastien Posted February 23 Posted February 23 (edited) 17 hours ago, ICMF said: Source? The picture comes from Titan Models website. Chris wouldn't do something another brand has done, so it will be (IMHO) at least in 1/48. @Homebee, got any info re the 1/32nd kit? Cheers, S. Edited February 23 by Sebastien 1

Sebastien Posted February 25 Posted February 25 The Blinder design is completed, but Chris has a dozen kits to release first... I've asked him about the 1/32 version, I'm waiting for his answer. Cheers, S. 1

general melchett Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Well, as this is my favourite Soviet aircraft this is must have for me.I've got every other version going so why not in 1/48th. Great news.1/32nd would be a monster.....now, where to put it? 1
John Thompson Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I'm sorry to be "that guy", but how about 1/72? The Blinder is one of my favourites, too. Would I buy it, though? Maybe, depending on price. Would I build it? Probably not. But it sure is a great-looking aircraft! John
LorenSharp Posted February 25 Posted February 25 It's 1/48 bomber AND Soviet AND a Vac. This would make an excellent addition to the collection. Count me in. 2

And Chris doesn't do models that have already been released in the same scale. 2

Sebastien Posted March 12 Posted March 12 The 1/32 Blinder is still possible "at some point in the future". Cheers, S.
Sebastien Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Since Chris seems to be in a Tupolev mood, I asked him if he had any swing-wing project in 1/48. Stay tuned... S.
