Revell 1:144 A-90 Orlyonok Ekranoplan
THis was my first excursion back into modelling since i was a teenager . I made a lot of mistakes on it but i think i also learned quite a bit in the process.

Now that is one helluva unusual but equally impressive build, never seen one these before in model form (or in real life).
Looks like a another couple of nice builds in the background as well.

Thanks Scott but you wouldn't believe how much went wrong on a model with so few parts. It was my first time using filler and i didn't know about taping either side of the joint, so i lots some detail to overfilling. The original box art shows a red line around the nose intake but you are expected to mask that up yourself......the list goes on

I have one of these to complete for my brother behind me as I type - The kit actually is really good! I do agree about the masking issues,but with a little care, its easiliy solved.
Looks like a nice tidy build and pretty good for your first steps into modelling again.
Just one tip about the photography; try taking the shots against a neutral background (white or blue) or an unclutted background as it does distract from the kit in question.
Look forward to seeing more soon!

Let me know when you get it started - there are a couple of things that you might find useful that i can pass on and i have a few pics of the build
