The Tupolev Tu-16K-10, designated 'Badger C' by NATO, was a specialised anti-ship variant of the venerable Soviet Tu-16 jet bomber. Developed for Soviet Naval Aviation, its primary mission was to attack enemy carrier battle groups. To this end, it was armed with the massive K-10S (AS-2 'Kipper') cruise missile, carried in a semi-recessed bay under the fuselage, making it a formidable maritime strike platform of the Cold War.

This 1/144 scale kit from Trumpeter is an accessible and detailed replica of the unique Soviet anti-ship bomber. With just under 90 parts, it is a straightforward and enjoyable project for modellers of all skill levels. The kit accurately captures the Badger's classic lines and features rotatable defensive gun turrets, clear canopy parts, and the distinctive K-10S cruise missile to complete its signature look.
