Nice one mate :thumb: 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!

Your as bad as me mate :lol: 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 :thumb:

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 :thumb:
