[FREE] 1/144 Tupolev Tu-2 "Bat" Papermodel


Designed as high speed bomber or divebomber, with high performance in speed and bombload, this aircraft played key role in Soviet Air Force during World War II

In Indonesian Air Force, this aircraft career is sketchy at best, what we know is is this aircraft served for less than a year before returned to Soviet Union due to engine problem (turns out using an aircraft designed in cold European climate on Tropical country isn't really a great idea) or donated to other Eastern Bloc countries, overshadowed by other Soviet aircraft design such as Tu-16 "Badger" and Il-28 "Beagle".

About the model: this pattern, like the previous MiG-21 are also a part of submission for Peri Kertas design competition.

Preview: it's the test-build model, some of the modeling mistakes are already rectified (i hope).





[FREE] 1/144 MiG-21 F "Fishbed-C" Papermodel

A supersonic jet interceptor aircraft designed by Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, low maintenance and manufacture cost, she became favorite aircraft for Eastern Bloc countries and Soviet Union's client states, some even found their way into the 21st century with upgraded avionics and weapons.

22 aircraft of this type serve Indonesian Air Force (Angkatan Udara Republik Indonesia-AURI) in preparation of Operation Trikora until the takeover by US-backed government, 13 Indonesian MiG-21s were delivered to the US while the rest are retired due to lack of spare parts and maintenance support.

About the model: this model is one of the submissions for Peri Kertas' papercraft design competition, because i ran out of place to put this model for display, that's why it's small (about 10 centimeters) but i add a little design on it (like cockpit, engine, airbrake, etc).
