I don’t mean to be rude when I say this, but I googled up the exterior dimensions of the tu-22, and your version is technically not 1:1 scale.
What I mean by this is that your version has a length of around 32m, while the actual tu-22 has a length of around 42m.
Other than that, good job on the build. It’s pretty neat!
