Thanks guys! Can't wait to see how the B-52G and Tu-26M2 look alongside it 😉. That russianplanes.net site is a fantastic resource.

Album info

33cm of 1/144 scale wonderfulness - this is the Trumpeter Tu-142MR, scaled down from their 1/72 kit. Another one of Vlad's tools to keep the western nations on their toes!

Painted in the current ocean grey scheme complete with fuselage art "Великий Устюг" ("Great Ustyug").

The build is now completed, really enjoyed this one!

Nice kit but not so accurate in the details - those engine fairings, some of the engine panels are engraved in mirror image, various sensor pods not needed or missing, a few cockpit windows missing.

I found plenty of hi-res pics at russianplanes.net/st/Tupolev/Tu-142MK, this is an outstanding resource for modern Russian aircraft.

Made the decals (apart from the kit stars) myself.

Builds up to a really impressive model!
