Bolschoj Phantome Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Hi all! I show the model of the Russian bomber Tupolev Tu-2S scale 1:72 from a kit of Ukrainian firm "ICM". A kit of old - 1997 (unfortunately there is nothing better), so to assemble it was very difficult: very poor mating of parts, minimum number of internal parts, manufacturing defects on the outer surfaces of the glass corresponds to another version, the fairings propellers we had to do independently, as well as many other small parts. 2 models I did for 2 years, stopping at 3 other more simple. I am sorry for the bad English. Edited August 18, 2019 by Bolschoj Phantome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris L Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 So good to see one built . I wish some reputable model company would manufacture a good TU-2 . Such nice lines to this airplane. Cheers, Christian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 You did a nice job on this. I tried this kit years ago and fsiled. Did you replace the glass parts? If I recall, they didn't fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bolschoj Phantome Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks, friends! I replaced only the pilot glass, the rest of the glass parts from the kit, I made them appropriate to the location. Glass pilot I took from the same kit, but later, there it is more correct.
