Got the TU-22 decaled and sludged...



and have the TU-16 decaled and sludged on the top...

Excellent work, as usual. SHARK, Six o'clock.

I have a soft spot for those cold war Soviet giants. Maybe some day there will be one in quarterscale.
And of course an extra room for me to display them...

The Tu-22 is one sexy looking airplane and you managed to put it in scale!

Trying something different. Using pastels to create different panel shades on the Tu-22.





Have only done a handful of panels. It is somewhat subtle. Not quite sure what to think of it yet.

Looks good to me! Very nice!

The two tupolev are my favourite on your workbench till now waiting for finished pictures

almost ready for paint

Was having problems with photobucket for several days, so now this is the status of the pancake.



The wet look is from the decal set i was using.

It was fun cutting the slot out of the decal. I couldn't cut it out after the fact because i need that section to put on the covers for the slot. So the problem was how to cut it out beforehand.

My solution was to make a copy of it on my copier;



I them taped this to the model cut out the slot with an xacto blade.
I then cut notches out so i could line it up on top of the decal;





Then using a straight edge and blade carefully cut the slot out of the decal and saved it for later use.

Almost finished...

Cool!
