+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 29, 2013 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 Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 really cool. I'm not a huge fan of "what-ifs" but it is amazing what you have done. Quote
+Wrench Posted January 29, 2013 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. Quote
TeargasHorse Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 There's never any reason not to build an airplane, virtually. Quote
dsawan Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 ye, plz release. as an old saying, Build it , they will come! Quote
Spinners Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Perhaps we can 'Orionize' it and give it back to Uncle Sam. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 29, 2013 Author 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 Quote
+Soulfreak Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Try to get the source from Monty! Interesting Birds.... Quote
+JonathanRL Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Some of you will say, that we dont need this bird Any bird that we do not have is needed! 2 Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 29, 2013 Author 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 Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 29, 2013 Author 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 Quote
Spinners Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 the US Navy did have a few B-29s I know, but not with a snozz like that. Quote
+DoctorQuest Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 You can't have too many airplanes! Nice work....... Quote
+FLOGGER23 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Martin, remember: The more, the merrier :) 1 Quote
+Wrench Posted January 29, 2013 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 Quote
