Alexander Grivonev
Great build, nice little improvements! Would be cool if you commented what and why you did in your building steps. Now give it a good wash!

Carlos Cisneros
Thank you Alexander. I'll see if I can go back and comment on my mods to the kit...
and washes are coming.

Thanks again Bob. I do enjoy building the Soviet "boogeyman" subjects.

Thank you Rui! It was a very enjoyable build.

Alexey Axel
Great job!

Carlos Cisneros
Thanks Joshua. I used mainly brass and copper wire for the fuel tank plumbing, along with a small section of aluminum rod for the thicker area between the two rear fuel tanks.

Carlos Cisneros
I think that it's K&B products. I want to say that the brass is .010" size, but it may be .020". The aluminum rod is a bit bigger gauge size. I buy the stuff at whatever shops carry it. Train hobby shops, RC shops, Hobby Lobby, and the old school neighborhood hardware store (not Home Depot or Lowe's).
The copper wire I strip and salvage from electronics and appliances that go kaput and are being tossed into the garbage.
