This is Minicraft's 1/144th scale of the Tupolev Tu-22M Backfire-B which I won from E-Bay a few years ago. Built straight out of the box and painted with
Mr.Color lacquers and Tamiya enamels. Panel line details were highlighted by using a Lamp Black acrylic tinting paint bought from a hardware.

Assembly was straight forward with some slight mis-alignments but nothing a sand paper and Mr.Surfacer 500 can't fix. The only thing missing was the twin rear guns which I lost in the eternal sea of our carpet. Though this kit was quite old already I was still able to use the decals supplied.
