1/144 Zvezda Beriev Be-200ES with a base I made up. Great little kit, goes together well.
What an interesting little kit, and well-executed. Is that a storebought picture frame, or did you make that base? Either way, great presentation. And I really had to look twice at your title – hard to believe that’s 1/144 scale. I guess with the level of detail there it’s hard to judge the size. How big in inches would you say that base is on one side?
Also, I’d never heard of the Be-200 and found the wikipedia entry fascinating. I assumed it was some obscure cold war dead-end project, but no, it’s in production today – though hampered by the war – and sold as a water bomber for wildfire fighting.
I get a chuckle out of the English translation of the department that the Russians make the ES variant for: “Ministry of Emergency Situations” ![]()
Yes, just a cheap store bought frame, a quick job on that one. Frame is 6"x4"
