ShelbyGT500 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Hello my friends This is AN-72P at 1/72 scale of TOKO. I started this birdy many years ago and it is the only one abandoned project Why? Horrible plastic material, raised panel lines and no rivets . .. no details, horrible manual , etc etc So now it is time to put on the helmet and the body-armor and finish the Chebourashka: And this is one of the examples at this $%^t - the window clear part of the left-side door: But we will fix it Ok guys, thanks for watching as always and Cheers Edited January 21, 2020 by ShelbyGT500 D.B.

rigor Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Pretty cool. The Russians build some odd looking aircraft ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Very cool! I think the Russians had a seaplane/flying boat with similar engine config ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAWS Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 That is an extremely odd aircraft, keep the updates coming. ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT500 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 And the next update The door is fixed and detailed : Well if the door will be open, we need a ladder: The wheels from the kit are horrible - soft rubber , the "rims" - far from the truth, so I will use the resin wheels: Also scratched antennas, pitot tubes and screen-washers: Well that is for now Cheers guys. dutik, Alain Gadbois, LSP_Kevin and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGT500 Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 And it is painting time - first black primer, light the panels with some white, pre-shade the panel lines whit nato brown. And start with bottom side - aluminum, some hair spray and salt. After 20 minutes first layer of dark blue for pre-shade, after that the main light grey-blue color. When it dries completely I will cover al with high diluted main color. Also start with other parts: Thanks for watching guys.

Out2gtcha Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Wow, cool! Those pre shade colors are really interesting looking ShelbyGT500 and Jack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT500 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hi friends, continue with the upper side of Chebourashka - camo with 50K shades of green :) :) And the weathered lower side of the camo: Well that is for now. The bird is sealed with gloss clear for decals work. When all decals will be on place, we will continue with upper weathering ;) Cheers guys Landrotten Highlander, LSP_Kevin and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
