A 90 Orlyonok

Roland Sachsenhofer
This project has been waiting long enough, now the time has come! The "shell", seen here, is quickly put together, the glued seams are still wet, so to speak. I plan to show the A90 in a proper dio - gliding just above the water!

One one those weird sovjet constructions. Will be fun to follow.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Oh yes, Weird and.... big. That must have been a massive vehicle!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Feel very welcome! 🙂

I just remembered, I have this kit in my stash.
Are those windows on the side? Like on passenger jets?

Roland Sachsenhofer
If this was some kind of passenger aircraft, I would book a flight for sure. 🙂
I will drill the windows and fill them with Krystal Klear.

No windows, apparently.

Watching!!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you both for interest and comments! Well, I will think over with that windows.... Thank you for the link!

Skyhiker
Looks to me like there are windows in that Wikipedia photo.

I stand corrected. I had originally not seen the windows. Thanks, Skyhiker.

Plenty of interior photos here: flickr.com/photos/la..597/with/45021731405

And the last surviving example (per Wikipedia) is here: museum-vmf.ru/

Even though the appropriate page won't load here, a photo displays in the top-of-page banner rotation.

Skyhiker
Wow, those interior shots are incredible.

Roland Sachsenhofer
I agree, what pictures! The question of the windows should now also be answered "from the inside" as well. Thanks for these excellent links, mates!

Roland Sachsenhofer
A few new pictures here too: the finished pre-shading has shown a few touch-up needs, but tomorrow I want to be able to apply the surface colour!

Probably too late, but that project would have been perfect to try a levitation display.
