Tupolev SB 2M-100 Katiuska, Spanish Air Force

Album info
ICM's Katiuska. A fascinating kit. It has lots of subtle details, specially in the exterior surfaces. Pity is that some of the detail is so fine that it gets very easily lost under a coat or two of paint. Fit is good if you are careful. There are lots of delicate parts and it's very easy to break them. Transparent parts are thin, and ended up (esp. the nose greenhouse) being transparent enough to actually see the interior.
I painted it with Vallejo acrylics. The green paint in the camo was brush painted, the rest is airbrushed.
I added some detail to the interior that is not really seen (i.e. the instrument panel, was blank, I added dials...and you can't see them. There was a reason they left out that detail!).
In the instructions it says that the model was made by V. Muchichko. So, kudos to him. I throughly enjoyed building it. It is not an easy kit by any standards but with some care it turns out really good.
