Modelsvit Tu-91

[Librarian]

Any of our illustrious modellers made this kit yet. Love to get some feedback from real modellers and not the rarefied crud expounded by rivet-counters. I think Dizzy was talking about one some time ago.

Every time someone here mentions there Tu-91 I have to look it up to see what it is.
I think due to its extreme ugliness my brain erases it from memory.

I certainly mentioned it - but so far I was not bale to hunt one down at a reasonable price. Was a candidate for the "In the Navy" GB, with Soviet Navy cammo scheme (like the Tu-14 torpedo bombers, in an ugly green/grey/sand scheme - should suit the Tu-91 well!  ), but lack of funds and conviction left me so far without kit in the pile.

I had to go google it myself. Never heard of that thing let alone the kit ! I like it tho ! Lots of whiffy potential there eh !

There's a build in this months SAM. Overall view is that it's slightly challenging but builds into a nice model and the effort is worth it.

That will Be Ken Duffy (aka Flankerman) he helps our own McCraig run the Russian/Soviet aircraft sig.

I took some pics of the finished beast at the Avon show back in August.





He also did an OOB TU-91 at the same time

Absolutely stunning...and natural metal finish . Incredible.

The current SAM has the OOB Tu-91, the test bed was a couple of months ago
