Akula


Bisnowat


BITsch-21


Babotschka

The first one is a new one for me and is completely nutso  , the second is new and the other two are familiar.

So we have Shark, a Bitch, and a Sea Gull.  , what other racers could the Glorious Worker's State have produced?

HmmMMmmm. Being a CoMMieS* member my self, I can see some intriguing possibilities...given the Russian
penchant for giganticism, I wonder if they might not have tried to encourage a multi-place category in air
racing...a racing version of the Maxim Gorky, for example, or a Kalinin K-7 that lost all the gun turrets, and
gained rocket boosters in the wheel pods...or perhaps they would have gone for long range racing, say a
version of the Ant-25. ( which did exist as an injection kit, though I couldn't tell you what company its from...
I have one, but I don't read Cyrillic...)
