Flankerman Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Look what Santa just delivered (in the guise of Martin, our village postman)..... The latest from the increasingly prolific Ukrainian enterprise of Modelsvit. A contender for the prize of 'Ugliest Aircraft', the Tu-91 was designed as a carrier-based ASW platform.... Powered by a single TV-2 turboprop driving contra-rotating props, it made its maiden flight on 2 November 1954 and pased all its tests, but the carrier programme was cancelled and it got the Boot :rolleyes:/>/> Continuing Modelsvits improving limited-run mouldings with delicate engraved detail, the fuselage is in two halves... ....as are the wings....... Interior and undercarriage sprues.... Tailplanes, exhaust trunking and props...... Clear parts, simple decal sheet and canopy masks.... Paint matches are given for the Humbrol range of enamels.... .... although the colour scheme and markings are quite plain..... I have to mention Hobby Terra for their excellent service - I ordered it on the 11th December and it was delivered today 23rd December - despite the Christmas rush. The packaging was very good. As soon as my Tu-22 Blinder is finished, I'll make a start. Ken PS - Also ordered and delivered with the Tu-91 was the Modelsvit Yak-140 and Yak-1000 kits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Woooooow that is ugly. I would say it looks like if the Pilatus PC-12 was designed and produced in the Soviet Union. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 That is one of the most ridiculous-looking "aircraft" I've seen... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platycqb Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) As Arnie would say "That's one ugly muddafucka..." But it's nice to see Modelsvit quality improving. :) Edited December 23, 2015 by Platycqb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tosouthern66 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 If I was dating a girl that ugly I'd put my self out of my missory! That is one ugly bird Quote Link to post Share on other sites
outofbattery Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 This is absolutely begging for an old Hasegawa Tracker to be raided of its ESM pod,Leigh light and MAD boom with some depth charges under the wings. There is so much more potential for ugly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
