Trumpeter 03908 TU-16K-10 Badger-C Model Kit - Collector Grade  [TP03908]

Overview of the TU-16K-10 Badger-C in scale

The TU-16K-10 Badger-C represents a key moment in Cold War aviation, reflecting an era focused on speed and strategic reach. Originally a high-speed jet bomber, the TU-16 was later adapted to carry the K-10S (AS-2 Kipper) cruise missile for anti-shipping missions.

Why this model matters to modellers

Introduced to naval aviation in 1961, the TU-16K-10 played a distinct role in the Soviet Naval Air Force. At 1:144 scale, the Trumpeter release lets hobbyists recreate the aircrafts unique silhouette and missile carriage for display or diorama work.

Assembly and display notes

With 87 parts the kit offers a moderate build suited to those with some modelling experience. The moulded fuselage and wings allow convincing surface detail, and the finished model makes a strong historical display piece for any military aircraft collection.
