Ok, so it's not a Russian aircraft . . .?
I made this for a friend who retired from the US Air Force earlier this year.? It started out as the Italeri 1/72 scale KC-135 kit - a real beast to build.? I had to hand make many details on the engines, and the structure is reinforced with brass tube because the model apparently does not hold its own weight over time - especially the wings.
After I finish the Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G I'm building for someone else, I will try to get a Russian subject of some kind on the bench!
