| HISTORY |
Here comes their first full kit,TZ-22.TZ-22 is a
Russian heavy airfield refueler, and mainly used for refueling purpose
for bombers or transporters such as Tu-22,Tu-160 or Il-76,etc.You can
also find them from MiG-25 or MiG-31 aerobases.
 The multi-material kit
here(72301a) contains original made resin cargo, tires, p hoto-etching
parts and decal, together with E-Klass KrAZ-258 injection plastic
kit, which is a civil use version of TZ-22 and shares some same
parts. There is also another version that does not include the E-Klass
kit, and the catalogue number is 72301b.
The resin parts are cast in excellent condition, free of bubbles. Also the fitting of resin parts are even better than some injection kits. The resin tires are a great improvement compared with the plastic ones from the E-Klass kit. Decal is nicely printed and includes lots of stencils and badges for the military use TZ-22.You have 4 choices for painting schemes,2 Ukrainian,1 UN,1 Russian.
This refueler has been asked to release for many years and finally, dream comes true.
I was told by the owner, Mr.Taras Karabyn, that more 1/72 Russian aircraft stuff is under construction, such as APA-5 Russian airfield starter,R-60 missiles with APU-60-2 pylon,R-40 missiles(in 3 types),exhaust nozzles for MiG-25,etc. A new age for Soviet/Russian aircraft modelers is coming, pay attention to their homepage and sale website: |
