TR-1A by Special Hobby in 1/72


Recommended Posts

The TR-1A by Special Hobby is one of their earlier short-run-kits and can not be compared with their latest releases. Anyway, it´s still the best TR-1 in town and I was lucky to get one by a fellow modeller.

The cockpit is in Resin and nicely detailed.

With some painting skill you can get a decent result!

I drilled the holes into the fuselage to allow for some reinforcements for the wing-montage.

The aircraft is quite big with the mounted wings!

I planted a nice forest of antennas on the belly and one of the wing-pods:

The pilot also took a seat:

Woaaah, black as the night!

Matt black 8 of Revell. After seeing this really nice black I decided to put the decals directly on the aircraft (and without a clear coat). This worked like a charm.

I put some matt coat (Vallejo) directly on the decals to keep the deep black. Under sunlight of course the effect fades a little bit.

Since this TR-1A will loiter in my office over my desk I didn´t put on the gear.

The clear parts are made of blister, and I was quite happy to get this rather complicated thing on my first try.

A little resin-chip unfortunately showed up AFTER I had closed the canopy.

Lots of wing span, this can´t be kept at home.

This aircraft was used as a "Scud-Sniffer" in the 1991 Gulf War.

Enough antennas for all TV and radio-stations! 😉

Then it was time to launch the black bird in my office:

It´s keeping a nice formation with my B-1:

And now and then the aircraft is taking a look outside the window:
