Hello everyone.
Does someone know where find (reliable) drawings of the Tu-22 Blinder in 1/72 scale? Thanks for each answer.
 
There was a set of plans in a modelling magazine a few years back, along with the article covering the build. I've checked through all my back issues of various mags, but no luck. I'm sorry I can't remember which magazine title it was either !
 
Yeah, there was a later, more "conventional" looking version that was a complete re-design. Read somewhere that Tupelov snuck it into the buget when they cancelled the T-4 Sotka as a cheaper, (slightly) upgraded Tu 22, but as i said it was a complete re-design. (All pictures from WIKI)

Tupolev used 'Tu-22' for political reasons, as the Soviet Air Force had asked for any new developments, regarding bombers, this was a 'cover up' and in the house project, which is why Tu-22 can be confusing, Tu-22 C is the Blinder and the Tu-22 M is the Backfire....
 
First, thanks guys.

What variant of the Tupolev's plane are you looking for?

I have an old model ESCI 1/72 of the Blinder: I think a Blinder B.

(I'd like try to do it in 1/48 but this is only in my dreams).

So... it's the Tu-22 Blinder reboxed by Italeri. If you able to print them or resize to the correct scale you may find them via the net. A PM sent...
 
Just seen the Italeri 1/72nd scale kit in my LHS. Just going off the size of the box, it's big in this scale - must be some size in 1/48th !
There was a multi-media kit, mainly resin I think, in 1/48th scale not that long ago. Can't remember who made it, maybe Anigrand, but I do remember that, along with the same company's 'Bear', it was fairly expensive ... no, it was very expensive!
