Thanks for the reply guys!

Hello to all!!! Does some of F/A-18F wear the Grim Reapers VF-101 markings? If not, please advice some colorous dicals for 1/48. Same question is for F-8E Crusader. Thanks, guys!!!

Gutten tag Arne! Beautiful work... As i see, not only in "B" versions the machine gun is not right. Kockpit is very good.

I want to envite You here... http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=271053&st=0&p=2569079&hl=tu-22&fromsearch=1entry2569079

Great Work, Zoli!!! Much beutiful Phantom wich i saw! So, what's next?

This is amazing, incredible work for F-14B that i saw everywhere. 16 pages of eye enquisition! Thank you men

Zoli!!! Finaly You are here. So interesting pages with description i didn't saw yet!!! I wish You best regards. Take it on that Way!!!

Welcome, dear friends and colleagues! Here, at last thing moved off the ground and I'm with you again as promised. In fact, it turned out not as I imagined it, but how come I like. But this does not mean that your advice to me is not necessary. "Pylons" engines are ready and there were only putty in the right place to bring front and back contours to mind and something that the rest of the little things at the bottom. And: But, pylons / shelves a lot more work: leveling, smoothing edges and putty. But I am very glad that at least something can be done when there is a lot of output.

Ken, hello agayn! about some one who will produce or update the Tu-22 (doesent matter wich mod: K, KD, P etc.) - I don't think so. May be in next 5 years, may be later. I hope, that in 2, max 3 years My Blinder will be finished. So, i reminded about You - articles about Tupolev's planes and boulds. They are verry nice and beautiful. I respect that what you provide for us! With respect, Vladimir (not Putin) )))

Thanks, Ken! Welcome om board. Great photo. I think now about tailand engines. There will be very more to work on it. To difficult to represent contours behind engines. If You read my post You see that the much difficult work will be at nose cone. By the way, Ken. Your surname is to known for me. Think i saw many of Your works somewhere. Regards. Nice to mee you!

Hello Saul. Thanks for visit. Yeaterday i bought putty. Need to think about how to install correctly engines at their's place. I watched again yesterday some drowings and technical describe about Tu-22K/KD. There is writed that Tu-22KD has 42.1(where in 72th scale is 58.6cm and wing span is 32.8cm) meters in long. Under drowings my model is for 2cm shortest. (Yes with upgrade in 2.1cm that i reminded in my last post) I dont know how to fix it. But i'll find the exit.

Zoli, hello. Finaly You are back. Glad to see You with your Phantom. I'm amazed with it. Great work.

Hello again, my friends! So, until Saturday and have the time to work for the benefit of modeling, did some measurements on the drawings. Found that the need to lengthen the fuselage by 2.1 cm, and the wing fairing to move forward on a 1.6 cm. More precisely, to the left border of pink markers:

Mario hello. Thanks for motivation. Actually, I did not grandiose building cabin, since I'm not a master, that would use a "naked" plastic. But i have some more troubles with that model. Like that: Cut pylons and narrow waist - this baby can do . Now we have to think about these things : move the wing fairings forward , correcting the landing engines, docking and lengthening the fuselage and its subsequent processing , as well as the nasal part of the Tu- 22. And here and there will be the most terrible nightmares. Specifically. whatever had to do with the nose - to expand or expose narrowing

Quite a little update at the beginning of this year, my friends! Repainted cab. Now cockpit true color. Just tried a dry brush. Well, referring to the fact that all this will not be seen, so leave. In other cases, I would not touch the cockpit at all, but that's because the itching and do nothing ... Well, you understand.
