+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Some of you will say, that we dont need this bird, maybe they are right, but i have build it with the great fakepilot method for my personal use. But I couldn`t resist to post the result. Its better than I have expected and the result is I will share it with the comunity. I have found the Tu-4 Bull and was working trough the Hexeditor to see what I can do with this plane.Cause I have found some interresting info about the Tu-70 and Tu-75. I can`t change the model itself, cause i have no access, but with the fakepilot method I have created a nice result. The alternate history could be an interim solution for a transport plane and a maritime patrol aircraft for the soviet union. This is also an export product cause the Tu-95 is for the Soviet Airforce only. My list goes as this Tu-75 Cart (small glassnose military) Tu-75A Cart (bigger glassnose and radar civil) Tu-75C Boiler (Bomber with longer glassnose) Tu-75KD Boiler (ASM carrier and patrol aircraft) Tu-75RT Boiler (recon / electronical aircraft) Tu-75M Boiler (with turboprop engines) If you have some ideas, feel free to post them. If there is some interrest the plane will be released. Have linked some pics here from the screenshot section if you dont mind Edited January 29, 2013 by 76.IAP-Blackbird 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+whiteknight06604 934 Posted January 29, 2013 really cool. I'm not a huge fan of "what-ifs" but it is amazing what you have done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,728 Posted January 29, 2013 iirc, MontyCZ still may have the original MAX files. also, weren't there real martime patrol/crisie missile carrier versions of the Bull?? I' KNOW I've seen pictures of them somewhere...maybe in one of Yefrim Gordon's books there's no real reason WHY the soviet airforce (ok, Tupolev) wouldn't have created a transport version. I point you to the Boeing 337 -- a civilian direviative of the B-29/B-50; and served the USAF for a long time as the KC/C-97. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I have no idea why I pick up those prototypes, they look just right and nobody else build them before, same with the La-200 which is a nice excortfighter in those early years (spoiler) The wiki link: https://www.google.d....41524429,d.bGE Edited January 29, 2013 by 76.IAP-Blackbird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted January 29, 2013 thanks Carlo. I know you dont like what if`s Its a very interesting plane and its simple apearance makes it nearly good looking, here a planed modernized version, not finished will get some Turboprob additions to the engines for the visual appearance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted January 29, 2013 If there is some interest from the "Bull" drivers, I could release those "yellow" (coloured) propeler spinners for the current Tu-4 like on this pic. The parts are already done. Compare my pics with this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrench 9,728 Posted January 29, 2013 I know, but not with a snozz like that. maybe instead of Bull for the NATO code name, it was "Durante"??? -- the only thing I can think of, Martin, is what pain painting on the passanger windows would be!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
