Can anyone tell me if there are any in box pictures of this kit please, I am interested in the wings mostly as I am thinking of doing a scalerama into 1/72nd scale, and I won't be needing the engines or other lumps and bumps on it.
Cheers,

laminated styrene sheet and some heavy sanding? might be an easier and more cost effective solution perhaps? iv spare 100 scale VEB Bear wings tho if of any use?

Hya Joe,
If the wings are surplus and you don't need them I can find a use for them. The reason I want to use the TU-95 sans engines is because I want to put a set of jet engines on it and a different cockpit. What its purpose in life will be I have not decided yet, but it could still be of Russian design.

if its anything like they're previous 1/144 bear (still got the old 90's issue, witch is now re-released). i hope they made a few fixes to the original mold as there is a big gap behind the portside cockpit window, you light need to fix that with plasticard and PSR.

I've got the fuselage of a Trumpeter 1/144 Bear going spare (the wings are on my BraZ Tu-114).

Hya Nils,
The gap behind the cockpit will be the last of its worries as I will be attacking that area with the saw  :wacko:
That fuselage offer sounds great Hobbes, is there anything you are looking for at the moment to swap??
Thanks for that link Paul, looking inside the box will help greatly as I can see what will need hacking off if I do get the whole kit at some stage.
Cheers,
