Radders Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) As per my post in the 'Make The Others Jealous' thread, I love my Russian stuff and the bigger the better for me. I bought this off a friend some time a go part started and have since been cracking on... it's massive in 1/72nd scale. The wingspan as per photo is 30" wide, length is 30" too.. I decided a few weeks back to box up some projects so I can get on with what I love most. Sadly also the 1/24th Buccaneer is on hold, as I found out I've lost/misplaced the large etch fret, which I'm gutted about. I may have lost it in a house move, or it may just be in a model box as the Bucc box is quite flimsy... so who knows, but that's one model I really want to get on with but every time I start, something gets in the way. Getting back to the Blackjack, the undercarriage is missing pieces so I'm having to fabricate my own parts. I will post photos up once it's all done. But I primed the wings last night, gave the fuselage a good rub down as it had been stored for a while and had marks on it, will prime that today to see where I am.. then I will need to buy gallon of white.

dutik Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Nice! One went in over Red Square at Tuesday, low and slow behind an Il-76 tanker. Waiting to see the markings. Which russian hero is yours? Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 oooo such a pretty airframe! What kit is it or is it a vac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Amodel or Trumpeter are the choices in 1/72nd scale. The wing says this is Trumpeters kit. Regards - dutik Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radders Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Been working on the Blackjack again, getting it all ready for paint. Also, another project is the Amodel IL-20M. Big kits as you can see from the box it's sat on.. Girlscanplay2, dutik and LSP_Kevin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Martin, I don't know where you find these picts, but this one is priceless! Ha ha! Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 That's a great pic of Putin! Priceless. I'm going to turn this thread into a mixture of several builds but all of the same nature. Old Soviet/Russian aircraft all in 1/72nd scale. I have a few on the go at the moment and think one thread will be better than several. (A bit like Shawn's non-LSP thread!) One of the aircraft I am working on is the rare Amodel An-22. I bought this and it was part started, ideally the interior needed to be ripped apart and redone, but I decided to just clean it up and paint it. Using Akan paint for the cockpit colour, Tamiya for the rest. I've also butchered a set of B-57 resin seats and painted them to match An-22 seats and they look loads better.. More to come on the Blackjack and Coot, very soon... dutik, LSP_Kevin and johncrow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
