1/72 Trumpeter Tu-16K Badger

Gallery Article by Eduardo Arguijo on Nov 5 2009

 

Hello, this is my Tu-16K “Badger” from Trumpeter in 1/72 scale.  It is one of my latest models, it was build straight OOB, with no additions but the antennas.

It was painted with MM Metalizers and Alclad II in a few areas.  Weathering was applied with pastels and smoke from Tamiya.  Model fit was ok, but the plastic breaks easily in the joints.  Cockpit detail is very poor and I had to rescribe a lot of panel detail because it was too faded in some areas.

Hope you liked it,

Greetings from Guatemala,
