Hello fellow iModelers,

I am usurping the front page just one more time with this topic, to show you the finished diorama featuring the big Tu-22m3, now in her natural habitat. I am very proud and thankful that she was selected for the Best in Show in January and is now presented on a fitting base. You can read and see more following this link :

  6. Terrific modelling and great looking diorama. Must be a monster of a model, hope it will be kept in a glass box so you don´t have to dust it.

  7. Technically, this is without peer. I am aware of just how difficult those ‘ladders’ are to construct, never mind reaching these heady levels of realism. The Work in Progress was a joy to follow. A masterclass in technical skill, patience, and attention to detail.

    Superb, Aleks. In every detail.

      David my friend, you want to get me all hoity-toity or what? 😀

      You are right about those service ladders BTW – they are one mighty challenging piece of photo-etching! Hands down the hardest part of this build, but such a focal point as well. And now I need to figure out how to pack them (and the rest) securely for the show...

      Cheers!
