The defensive guns assembly sequence...one snapped off at the end and will be scratchbuilt.
These guns are tiny and would be good candidates for a replacement resin piece from someone like Gaspatch Models. Maybe later, if the little planes get rebuilt.

Decals are on. Next is the engines and engine covers. One engine may be left bare just because its cool.

This big bird is approaching completion. Please don't expect any real close-ups. It is fun to look at...from a distance. It has too many flaws to be a modeling masterpiece, but it was a kick to build.

Like most of the western US...I am under smoke...so there might actually be some good progress on this.

Two steps forward...one step back. I hate "learning"...usually, with me, that means it was a tuff "lesson".

Shit happens, every one of us has such accidents from time to time. Hope it won't stop you 👍

Deciding to go with skies (not wheels) was an easy decision...is there any other?

Ski option looks always good on Soviet contraptions 🙂

New pics are up...however, it seems a railing has broken off and must be repaired and photos redone. Until then, enjoy the pics, as is.

Very beautiful. Red stars on Russian green is an attractive combination. And the model really is something special.👍

Thank you, all! This was fun for sure. I actually practiced on small kits to learn the small plane rigging method, so this one percolated on the shelf for a while.
