Oh no, those piccies bring back awful memories of building the VEB Tu-134, Tu-114 and Tu-144!  :banghead:

More filler than plastic by the finish! More power to you karlik, you're doing well so far.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Karlíku, pokusím se to napsat v angličtině, když je to na Modelforu zatím utajené...

I "developed techology" for removing old decals and smudge from old VEB Plasticart kits.
Try use dishwasher. I tried dishwasher with Plasticart Tu-144, Mi-6 and Mi-10. And very old AMT NCC1701 Enterprise.
All were perfectly clean and undamaged and undeformed. Old Plasticart (and some Lindberg and Revell) kits were from very hard and resistant plastic.

I have a dishwasher just hand drive  ;D /tz. využívám všechny co jsou doma/
so for me this method is unusable

it's not a secret, it's not for MF /tz. na MF to ani nebude  ;D/

You've managed the impossible: the world's first sexy-looking AWACS!
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.
