Title: Tupolev Tu-22B Blinder
Post by: MSea on July 15, 2024, 08:38:09 AM
Just got this out of the loft for the next playday, it was this or a Frogfoot, but this had the larger box so will clear more space.
Got it many many many years ago, I think in Scarborough in the railway shop - not bad for ?7.99. Will do the cockpit so I can fasten all the wings and things together on playday - dont have to think about it so much and will be able to chat away all day.
So far I am annoying Bob by doing a tank, Kevin and Jon by doing a plane - now what shall I drag out of the loft next and who will it annoy - hohhohohohoho  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ohhh yes i think there is a helo in the loft, sorry Chris.

Hi Msea,
Well you've got our attention now. I built one of these a few years ago but it cost me a lot more than you paid.
Looking forward to being 'annoyed 'by this build. Now, what can I find to get your attention.....??

Well a few days away from models - seeing friends in Scarborough and then working in the garden. 
SO the model gets its own back, the joy of old decals YES they have broken up and most have just disintergrated.  Made a start on painting the info, when dry will add some red and silver - then hope that when the cockpit is shut you will not see very much - Plan B is to yellow the windows as the model will be made as a monument  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Nice work in the cockpit even if the control column looks like a pair of Dame Edna's spectacles!!
