Hey Oleg - how did you & your boys miss this Russian Beauty in 1946???

Hmm... I didn't know that Russians designed wonder woman's aircraft ;)

:) He would love it... (painted in black naturally).

I almost threw up at the sight of that, i feel a ugliest aircraft of ww2 thread is needed :D

(Ah... the images now work)

You can see why I've always argued that we should favour luft'36 over luft'46!

Oleg doesnt subscribe to Aeroplane Monthly :)

Here's a few more pics from the article,includidng some nice detail of parts of the interior,plus a model of what promised to be a new & improved version...something Captain Midnight surely would have wanted...or should have been in Crimson Skies...
