Nice looking Russian jet. One of the early types my guess.

Mark that is awesome! A great build of a minimally known subject!

Thank you guys! I'm thrilled you like it!


Blacksheep, yes this is a very early Russian jet, having first flown in the early 1950's.

Carlos, I agree, I never really knew much about this till I built it.

Johnny, you aren't wrong!
