Tsybin NM-1 MaksArt model in 1/33 scale

[Isaac]

I have downloaded MaksArt model of this unusual research aircraft ( Tsybin NM-1 ). Same designer as some of my previous builds of the Yak 19, 25, 30 ist generation as well as the Yak 1000. I decided to build this one as it is relatively simple, yet impressive. I have other models to build, but most are more complicated, and just coming off the YAK 25M build, I needed a brain rest.





Apparently the model was built and a quick blurb was posted with a link to You Tube, but that is gone. This is of the Extra Model printed kit which I think is the MaksArt version repainted.
Tsybin NM-1,1:33



Also, there is thread on the 1/100 scale Odball version which is similar, but different build.
Tsybin NM-1 - Oddball - 1/100


More soon

Good project, luck. Do I see bad or say 806mm?

Yes, it will be a long airplane model. But relatively short wings.

Isaac,


Did you use the Japanese extra white paper to print on? I'm assuming it's metric dimension paper?


Thanks,
Gary

Yes, I use the Japanese A4 paper since the kit is designed to use all the length.



Same paper I always use for my digital file printing.


In case you wish to purchase it, here is my previous thread on that topic:
A4 card stock in the USA

It is available in the USA and Canada as well

The Tsybin aircraft here was intended as a supersonic ( mach 3 really ) aircraft. Of interest is that the engines were podded on the wing tips ( or very near the tips ) as in a few other concept planes of the period such as :




Avro 730



French Trident



German VTOL aircraft VJ 101



and to a lesser degree a Bristol 188



While installation of the engines on the wing tips is relatively simple, I am sure that there are other complications, most noteably is the one engine out especially on take off.

Anyhow, all fun stuff

Very interesting, thanks for the information. Align such an extensive fuselage, let's hope it does not get complicated.

I may need to make some sort of a jig to keep the fuselage straight

The kit consists of 20 pages total that break down as follows:

1 cover page
2 info pages in Russian
4 sketches and views/instructions
3 frame pages
9 part pages
1 back page with photos of completed model and a listing of MaksArt previous kits

Here are some representative pages.







Note:

Printing must be on A-4 paper in order for the large parts to fit at this scale ( parts and frames only; the rest can be omitted or printed on any size and used for reference only).


also

I used 160 gr paper, however in hindsight because of the super big pieces for the fuselage, A heavier paper is better in my opinion.

Available in Canada you say? Please let me know a source in Canada to try. Shipping from the USA was going to be $100 US for one package of paper.


Looks like a great model - will be watching your work with interest.
