India Independence Day

 

      

Some time back I can across a pic of a Indian Navy Tupolev Tu-142MK-E (NATO reporting code "Bear F") Being intercepted by a US Navy Grumman F-14A Tomcat from the fighter squadron VF-111 Sundowners assigned to Carrier Air Wing 15 aboard the carrier USS Carl Vinson. This event happened somewhere in the late eighties and ever since I was keen to build this diorama.

Both kits were built mostly OOB with a little bit of surgery required for the bear, decals were self made for both aircraft.

Wishing everyone Happy Independence day "Jai Hind".
