two big nos from me: way too small for my clumsy fingers und… it’s russian…
Ukrainian markings.
true… I didn’t know they had Backfires…
Hopefully it’s way better than the old Academy kit. As for scale, perfect for something so large.
There were no Tu-22M2s in Ukraine . The first to receive Tu-22m2 was a regiment in Poltava in the mid-70s. It was a leader in the operation of Tu-22M. In the early 80s the regiment was rearmed on Tu-22m3. In Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union in service were Tu-22K, Tu-22M3, Tu-160, Tu-95MS.
