In the late 50 the russian leadership decided to build long range transport vehicles to run through siberia .

The main type of this mostly unknown machines was Tupolev " mongol" based on the Tu95 heavy Bomber .

Welcome to the show  :thumbsup: 

I finished the first round lucky , all parts came together perfect and i can use the original point for connection 😁 . At all there is not much need for putty , it's all flatt and smooth and in straight direction ,  i have shortened the fuselage by 40 mm ( wings not needed here ... ) .

This is the remain of the revell 1:144 Tupolev 95 which i slaughtered for the Heinkel America Bomber .

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Yesterday i did the first try with some wheels and axles to figure out where to go ...

.... and today i fixed three axles together and the wheels, the fuselage is also in one piece, and i have placed some weight in the nose  .  So many little holes and details to close in the fuselage .

Very unique! It needs front and rear axle steering.

Ken those are WW2 German Sd.Kfz.231 8 rad wheels and suspension units which means this beast will have 6 wheel steering as the 8 rad was a 8x8 with steering on all axles  :thumbsup:

It's all there .

Very promising Noizy.   :thumbsup:

Now, if it was my build i'd be looking at putting in two articulated sections into that fuselage.  Midway  between the wheel sets.
Think "Bendy Bus".



You'd just need to find some corrugated tube the same diameter as the fuselage.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Haha , I did so much work to put them together like one piece , so please excuse me if i IGNORE that idea  ...
The concept is a straight line high speed overlander  :thumbsup:

So if you turned all the wheels in one direction it could go sideways. Very handy in a cross wind!

Just a thought. How about some form of canopy on top to allow the passengers to view the beautiful landscape going by? The Amtrak passenger trains here call it the Vista Cruiser.

Yes, a Panorama window could be nice . But i am to lazy for more details , instead of that i glued the axles on . And let it dry in the sun .

Something like a Lancaster canopy?



Just my $0.02 worth. Of course then you would have to cut a hole in the top and build seats and stuff. Looks like you are beyond that point.

This is what I was thinking of.
