I can’t tell you how impressive Gennadiy Miheev’s assembly is, especially how clean and precise it looks. The Tu-16 by Trumpeter in 1:72 scale is a real treat. The panel lines stand out so well against the smooth surface, adding that extra touch of realism. The meticulous attention to detail in the paintwork makes the model almost pop out at you. It’s one of those builds where every angle seems to catch something new.

From what I’ve read about the real Tu-16, it was quite the workhorse for the Soviet Union. This bomber was a part of that Cold War arsenal and saw service in various roles beyond its original design. They say it could even be modified for maritime reconnaissance, which shows how versatile this aircraft was. Seeing it in model form kind of brings that history to life.

What makes this model stand out is not just the attention to historical accuracy, but the clean execution and fine details that Miheev managed to achieve. Anyone into military aviation or models would appreciate how this model captures the essence of the Tu-16 with such finesse. It’s definitely one worth checking out if you’re into this kind of stuff.
