I guess "Soviet" is more accurate. Here's my build of the Anigrand 1/144 Tu-128 "Fiddler". Simple construction, just vac'ed the canopy and put in a couple aircrew. Small scale subject of the largest operational fighter...
Herb,
Your building skills rock - especially the canopy area! The "Fiddler" is one of my favorite FSU aircraft.
Take care and keep posting your builds.

Primer was Mr. Surfacer 1000, and I used several coats since the panel lines were pretty deep. Paint was just Floquil 'Old Silver' with a coat of flat. The access panels were rectangles of silver decals, also flat coated. I understand these aircraft were actually finished with a protective silver paint, so I didn't want a natural metal effect.
And I vacuformed a new canopy, because you're right about the Anigrand supplied items...
The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many
modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and
photos on this Forum.
You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant
reference information and photos to this Forum too.
This Group Build will feature 1/144 scale (and smaller than 1/144 scale) kits.
Build as many kits as you like
Conversions, aftermarket and
scratchbuilding are all permitted.
Any markings are acceptable.
Document your progress and do a
write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did
you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if
everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature
Article.
