Minicraft 1/144 Tu-22 Backfire Bomber

Built this probably 4-5 years ago. I usually do little things like this after I am building something serious just to cleanse the pallet. Nice to just throw something together and not worry about PE or resin being perfect.

Built out of the box, decided to put it in flight mode with a missile dropping away, turned out OK I think...nothing that is going to win any awards other than maybe a "cool" award. I like these action shots of models, sometimes takes the "static" in static modeling out of the equation.











And a couple of shots from a show I took it too...finally put the smoke in for the missile launch....
