I found this model
when I was browsing at a local hobby shop. They have a "rare kits"
section and I always like to check out that. I saw this model and it was at a
cheap price so I decided to buy it.

When I was growing up in Russia, my dad
worked on the aerodynamics of this aircraft and I decided to make it as a
present for him. I built this model OOB. The fit of everything was very good and
the model had adequate detail. I used Tamiya paints to paint it. I had some
problems with the decals, but that was because it was made in 1985, which was a
long time ago. The wheels are made to spin and the wings move too, just like on
the real aircraft.
