This lot includes;1 x 4D 1/144 Scale Soviet Russian Tupolev Tu-22M3 Backfire Heavy Bomber Bagged kit About 4D Kits:4D kits are something relatively new in the modelling world having been introduced by China several years ago. Compared to regular aircraft kits they are often composed of solid chunks, which snap together. Despite the fact that “snap togethers” invoke visons of beginner kits that are poorly rendered 4D kits have been becoming increasingly sophisticated. The first ones were often in odd scales and with very heavy panel lines. The latest iterations are in more standard scales whose detail is both fine and rivals that of standard glue kits.Tanks trucks,and other armor are also available in 4D kits. The first ones were VERY crude, used no standard scales, and were squarely aimed at the kid market. The latest ones are very well done although the detail tends to be a bit heavy. Some things to be aware of when it comes to 4D kits:4D aircraft kits have a tendency to use clear parts for odd things such as landing gear. Nothing a decent paint job can not fix.As often as not, stickers rather than traditional decals are provided. For a good finish grab some after market decals.Helicopter rotor heads tend to be a bit clunky and seem to be more concerned with making sure the rotors turn rather than getting the look right. For more advanced modellers, a bit of work can make them look proper.The newest 4D kits fit together very precisely – if you pre-paint sections of a fuselage or wings you need make sure that where the parts are to fit together are left unpainted. You have to do some wrestling or paint stripping otherwise! If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
