Cool, and he's already in his water survival suit of bright orange.

 

That shot shows off the subtle ribbing in the radome. They are usually laminations. Very nice.

Looks really sweet Craig, nice job!!!  I'm trying to stay out of post-WWII aircraft modeling, but seeing yours makes my willpower drop...

Oh I know, after watching the Mandalorian, I started thinking that modeling some of the Star Wars stuff looks fun.  Must...be...strong...

Strength comes in 2 flavors. One is "resist".  The other is just "do it".  LOL.

Besides being an excellent product to reduce the oil, it contains naptha which dries more quickly than other products such as white spirits.

And just in case you have done something that makes you very unhappy with the results it can be used in the old fashioned way to make flaming airplanes!

 

Just getting a chance to catch up with your build Craig. This is definitely NOT one that you would want going down in flames.

I have to bone up on these missiles. The rear-most is a ? Looks like a long range A/G weapon. the other 2 are A/A missiles. I'm out of practice.😙

Starting from the wingtip and working toward the inside are R-73E’s, R-77’s, and R-27ER’s. All these are A2A missiles.

Yes, behind the figure is an A2G, the KH-35. The other is the R-27ER

The R-27 missiles were introduced around 1990, and have a range of 100+ miles. Radar guided, the ER version is equipped with the latest guidance head. The R-77 is newer and more advanced than the R-27. It will eventually replace the R-27 in the Russian inventory while the R-27 continues to be sold to air forces around the world. The R-73 is a short range heat seeker, similar to our sidewinders.

Now you need a "Honey I shrunk the Aircraft Carrier!" to put it on.... {chuckle} (just don't tell her the size of the display case)

Thanks EG! The kit came with a big section of the carrier deck to use as a display base, but I just decided not to finish it at this time. Maybe later I'll change my mind and finish it, too.

Great job there. Love the finish and the loadout. Some of the Russian weapons look almost "Buck Rogers" in design, like their cruise missile. Can't wait for your next exploit. Is it going to be armor or aerial? Or some else entirely. Inquiring minds want to know...

Completed:

Very nicely done, Craig. It is an imposing and complicated aircraft, you have done a great job. Also the three tone camo does not look too easy. Love the sharp looking canopy.

Kind regards,

Dan
