Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Do you mean, "how do you convert the ESCI Tu-22 into the type used by Iraq?" Other than the refueling probe and the paint scheme, I'm not aware of any other external differences.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrake Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) Well firstly you need to modify the kit into a Tu-22B or a Tu-22K, Iraq had both. This is true regardless of which boxing (or reboxing) you have as esci seems to of mixed up the noses, so the missile version has a bombing nose and vica versa, though even if you so swap them there is still some extra work to do, including moving the bomsight aft.
