Tupolev Tu-2!

Not everyones cup of tea... but very much mine, and tonnes of other stuff like it.

So, I said I'd buy no more kits after the B-17E/F, but have ordered/bought - - Trumpeter 1/35th - MAZ / Scud-B - ZM 1/32nd - Ta-152H1 (2nd hand off a friend) - 3D printed OneManModels 1/48th - HAL 748 AWACS - 3D printed OneManModels 1/72nd A-90 Orlyonok Ekranoplan and that is it for 2020...

Will be ordering one once his A-90 is complete! Love these kits, slowly working through a YS-11EB... can't wait to see more of this.

Amazing update again Peter.

I'm assuming this will be a set to purchase? If so, I'd take one Iain... I really want to build a Privateer from this kit once the B-17 is done, but the wing has put me off... Top effort though, look forward to seeing what comes of it regardless

Thanks guys, now I've done a bit more on the nose and to see where I'm at, thrown some primer over it all. Happy with most, but obviously the nose is still needing attention. Big gap to fill round it, and some profiling still to be done. Then onto the re-scribing... Actually looking forward to that given it's size. Few more photos for your pleasure.

Superb work mate, I do love the Sunderland but I think i'll just settle with the 1/72nd Special Hobby kit! Really can't wait to see this one....

Lost my Mojo many times, but now it's just time and lack of it... but making up for that during these lockdowns! Great start Peter, but lets be honest, it was never going to be a bad start... great subject, although not my bag... it'll still be great watching this come together.

Think you need to design a VC-10 and print that in 1/32nd...... and then a CL-215 to beat Tim,..... Seriously though, this will be great, i'm not a huge P-8 fan, just another 737 to me... but it'll be the only one you'll see built if you carry it on that's for sure.

Hi guys... another lockdown in the UK means I'm back on furlough and at home, which also means a bit more free time to do some modelling. Not much more of an update, but it's an update... decided to go for a bullet nose tanker, still the same tanker just at a later date. Furelage is now glued together with rear turret fairing on but smoothed over, nose on... what a job that was... but now with the new bullet nose, more blending in now the shapes been made. Then hopefully soon, a final coat of primer and lots of re-scribing/riveting! and how it should look...

That literally changes the whole kit, it now looks so much better, more so from the shape of the fuselage.. amazing job. I think this will twist my arm to now getting one! You are a star for just making it free to download, but please let me pay something... I will have to pay someone else to print it for me, so it's only fair..

Can't remember why, maybe short on time, couldn't be bothered, knew someone would come along and quote me with the direct link.... who knows. No biggie though was it? Just two clicks instead of one?!

Airshow performance over beachy head?

I'll be damned, a simple but very effective way.... looks amazing so far too Tom, keep it up mate...

I took it as sarcasm suggesting the molds were gold to start off with... (of course they aren't though)

Two engines in a Viggen and Draken?

That would be awesome... I was lucky enough to see it in the late 90's at Dubendorf.

I think it's safe to say, we really have no idea what it is.. I guess a few do, but can't say anything.... I would love it to be something I've got an interest in, something maybe WW2 related that could be turned into a post war Civvie, or a B-29 to make into a Tu-4, or just something Russian.... Pe-2 or Tu-2.

One way to draw attention to your Facebook page I guess.

If it is a Beaufighter, only one option would get me to buy one & that would be one of these.

If it's a C-47/DC-3, Maurader or Ju-52... i'll get one. If it's something else... who knows.

Got one put by, can't see nothing fishy this end.. if they want to make limited numbered kits, let them..

Love it... hopefully this makes it to a Telford one year... I understand how big it is... but it's just too good.
