Tupolev 2, #2

My second 1/72 Tupolev 2, molds done by the East German company VEB Plasticart in 1977. Not state of the art even then: offbeat construction, difficult fit, weird plastic, chunky detail. Still, it looks like a Tu-2, which is pretty much what matters to me. I really like red stars, and thought the black-green camo would make them pop. The kit came with white-outlined red star decals. The red needed to abut the green and black to get the maximum impact, so I made some stencils and spray-painted solid-red stars. First photo is green-painted plane masked with local Play-Doh before spraying on the black. As usual, craftstore acrylics, hardware store spraypaint, and dry pastels.
