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,
photo-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.
It is a must have for any
Soviet/Russian aircraft diorama built and will add the humanity feeling to your
diorama a lot.
I was told by the owver, 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:
