Mark Deliduka Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Hey all, here she is in all her glory. This is Trumpeter's 1/72 scale Tu-16 Badger in Russian Navy markings: My apologies for that last pic. I'll try to get a sharper image later. Thanks for looking, comments are welcome.
David M. Knights Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 I love that a/c. Good to see one built.
ewahl Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Is there an IPMS/Russia? With the number of Russian kit subjects and Russian kit manufacturers available now, it would seem that a national branch could be started there. Then Mark can get some really comprehensive feedback on this Badger. To me, a know-nothing novice on Soviet subjects, this kit looks great. Ed
ghodges Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Sweet! The framing on the glass looks sharp! GIL
Mark Deliduka Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks guys. I appreciate the compliments. Especially of the glass Gil. That was tough. Ed, I actually got some feedback from several Russian friends I have and most of the suggestions they had were beyond me to do. However, they did like the work I did on it. I'm pleased. Now to get to my other two Russian bombers.....
Mark Deliduka Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks Von! I appreciate it. Getting comments like this always helps to keep me motivated to work on more. The more comments I get, the more I finish! :D

Mark Deliduka Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Posted June 22, 2009 OK Mark, Challenge accepted and answered......BUILD MORE. LOL. Okay, off to the workbench now.... Thanks for the great comments. If you want to see more, I finished several armor models in the Armor Forum that NOBODY commented on! At least seven or eight. Okay, off to the bench....
ghodges Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Oh those "armor" guys......always off building models instead of admiring ours here! GIL
JMorgan Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Very nice, I like it. Which technique did you use on the windows? -J
Mark Deliduka Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Posted June 22, 2009 Oh those "armor" guys......always off building models instead of admiring ours here! GIL . I know! What's up with that? I mean, gee, you'd think this was a modeling society or something..... ;) :D Thanks Gil for the good laugh! :lol: Very nice, I like it. Which technique did you use on the windows? -J Well, to be honest, I dipped them in Future and when they dried, I freehand painted the frames. Once painted to my satisfaction and dry, I took a sharpened Popsicle stick and scraped the paint off the areas where it wasn't supposed to be. Once it looked right, I re-dipped them all in Future to seal them. They were then glued in place using Gator Grip Hobby Glue. Most of this was done even before I put the canopies on the model. So much easier to paint when I'm not maneuvering a whole plane around! Thanks again for the great compliments guys! I appreciate it and -J, I hope that helped a little.
