I’m really impressed by the weathering on this TU-128M model. The subtle touches really bring out the plane’s character, capturing that rugged, lived-in look that many modelers strive for. You can see how Daniil has carefully added wear and tear, giving the model a sense of history and depth. It’s like you can almost imagine it on a windswept runway somewhere in the past.

Now, here’s a cool tidbit about the real TU-128M — it wasn’t just any old plane. Designed in the Soviet Union, it was one of the largest fighter-interceptors. Back in its heyday, its job was to defend the vast Soviet airspace against intruders. Can you imagine flying something that colossal and powerful? Its presence was definitely more than just in name.

This model is certainly worth your attention. The attention to detail in the weathering and the solid history behind the TU-128M make it standout. It’s always a joy when a model not only looks good but also sparks curiosity about the story behind the real craft. In the end, it’s these details that make building and collecting models such a rewarding hobby.
