Tupolev-22M2
Friends, colleagues, Hello.
Here’s another model from Trumpeter on a 1/72 scale. This model aircraft Tupolev-22M2, Russian missile carrier bomber. Now they are not built. The model had a lot to modify and replace. For example, I replaced the engines with additions from Amigo-models. Set resin pilot’s seat from NeOmega. The model is made in a variant of the bomber. 36 on the external load of bombs inside the bomb Bay 33 bombs. Much has been added to the interiors of the cabins. Wings, stabilizer and gun movable. The wheels are from Equipage. The color of the paint mixed yourself. That’s all in short.

Great job, Dmitry. There are 4 tail cannons? Looks like 2 double barreled shot guns.

Awesome model Dmitry! You can fool everyone to think it’s a bigger scale. Fantastic details and paintwork. Congratulations!

Thank you, Pedro! The task of any Modeler to some extent is to deceive the one who looks at the model. You’re right!

Thank you, Craig. In modeling, the details are very important and I always try to pay a lot of attention to them.

I like the bird and the work, especially the very subtle streaking effect.
Congratulations!

A really beautiful model – as usual I love your attention to detail. Just looking at the weathering of each of the bombs is a reminder of how much all the small details add up to a beautifully rendered replica.
Dmitry Ryzhenkov said on June 17, 2019
Thanks, Greg. I am glad that the model causes such feelings. That’s the effect I was trying to achieve. And I think I did it.
