Ritchie's Tupolev SB2 Bomber 1/72

[Jostro65]

At last, completed as much as it will be.
Lost the will to even go up the loft for a week or so there!
Tidied up and couple of painted insignia as had no other decals to replace the kit ones. I'm afraid there was no attempt at weathering as I just couldn't look at this little fekker any more.
Not a great attempt at my first group build but thanks very much for the encouragement to keep at it.
No more 1/72 for me!!!!

Ritchie!

That's turned out nicely considering the problems you had and thank you for aki

Also, don't be so fast on ditching 1/72...you took an a very old kit. Have a look at something newer....perhaps go visit your nearest Aldi, they're doing one of their regular cheap Airfix deals....the Spitfire is a great little kit.

Again, thanks for taking part!

I don't know what trouble it caused you but it came out alright. As Andrew said, you picked on old one. Something newer, might be easier.

The newer Airfix kits go together really nicely....I have down three now and not had ANY complaints....other than my own incompetence.

Lidl also stock them cheap three or four times a year, in case that's nearer!

Ritchie. Well done for battling on.

I too would recommend the newer Airfix kits. I'm pretty new to this modelling game and those kits do go together very well with hardly any fit issues.

Again well done in your first GB. I only started doing them last year and failed to complete a couple but I still love doing them

Looks good Ritchie and top marks for finishing it :thumb2:

I’d also echo what the other chaps have said regarding 1/72 kits, there are some good ones out there.
