    1/72 Tupolev TB-3 of the Chinese (Gomindan) Air Hankow AB - Heavies Group Build

    Category: 2
    Scale:1/72
    Manufacturer: ICM
    Model type : Tupolev TB-3
    Details : Chinese Air Force, Hankow Air Base, May 1938



    The wings and fuselage are in multiple pieces, so this will be an interesting build for me.


    Supplied to the Chinese Air Force (along with other planes) from the Soviet Union to combat the Japanese.

    video is for Russian plane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVRUw...eature=related

    Certainly different, and a bit complex in parts! Nice one VB!
    It's not quite in the time frame for the GB, but what the heck - it's too interesting to exclude!!!

    Just looking at the photo of the under belly gunner, no such thing as OHS in those days and how cold would that have been. I wonder if he had a potty?
