Modell Tupolev TU-114 D von VEB Plasticart / 1:100
My built in the 80's model is a Tupolev Tu-114 long-haul passenger aircraft of Aeroflot in 1:100. The kit was still being produced in the GDR (DDR) by VEB PLASTICART in Zschopau. Despite these small measuring scale in 1:100 it is in the size still a very respectable model (wingspan 60 cm, length 47 cm) in my collection.
