Tu-160
It‘s huuuuuuge 😄
Next Step is painting the Cockpit and front wheelbay. The instructions say, to put everything together but for easier painting i leave it like that.
Little Update, didn‘t put that much effort into the cockpit since we will never see it againe. ?
The passage from the front to the back is a metal floor and at the half there is a grey carpet thing? I couldn‘t find much images from the back.
Let it dry
The Bomb Bay Doors are definitely made to be in closed position. I must cut and sand a lot to fit them flat
The lower section of the whole model is wobbeling all over.
The result is a really bad fitting with the two halfs.
1:35 vs 1:72
I guess i glue the Wings in place. The folding mechanism is to weak and can‘t hold the wings in position.
Fitting is Revell Level 🙁
Oh shit, now it’s a B-1 ?
So, its white. I pre shaded the model, live it is much more visible but not over the top. Used nearly two Tamiya X2 whites. ?
I try to hide the two weights inside the front landinggearbay. So please dont look. ?
Sometimes things dont go as planned, the front is too light because of the missing bombbay.
Fits
Fits Not so much. ?
Investigating the details
Done, made some mistakes but learned againe. ?
I think i will now place on every models nose some weights and the AK Filler is not really good. I had a smooth transition between the upper and lower half after sanding but in the end the ak filler is not keeping in place and gap‘s are opening.

Bart GoesaertLooking great. A bit of a bummer not to remove the ejection marks from the nose gearbay.

Michael KohlMaybe too late fo that build but a remedy I use, when a plane surprises me with tailsitting is to drill a hole into the bottom (ideal if there happens to be a round engraving already), pour Elmers glue and small lead granules. Repeat if necessary. Lead granules are pretty cheap and a kilogram will probably last you a lifetime. The convenience product is liquid lead for about 100 times the price. If done just cover the hole again with a piece of styrene rod.
