Any progress mate? I did look at this last week - Was thinking about maybe doing more Russian Bombers after the TU160

[MarkG]

Nice one mate which one's were you thinking of doing? As for the Blinder, I've done some more on the engines and some more filler work as well, reckon I'll have it primed this weekend and hopefully make a start on the landing gear!

I love a good game of tiddlywinks

[Flyingmonster]

I was looking at this, a Tu22, Tu95 and a TU 16 They is something about them I seem to like

[MarkG]

Your as bad as me mate Yeah I must admit, I find a certain attraction for Russian aircraft.
I was also thinking about getting a Tu-16 as well you'll be amazed to hear. Think I'll get the Trumpeter one in 1/72nd

[Flyingmonster]

Great minds think alike!! Ah the Trumpy kit does look good! I saw the Hobbycraft version

[MarkG]

Here's a quick update! Finished the filler work on the fuselage and got some primer on it today
For the first time I tried some grey acrylic based primer from Halford's, quite like it actually and it flatten's down well too

[Flyingmonster]

About darn time to mate!! Thought you have forgotten us haha Looks good so far!
