maybe you should send a pic of the finished model over to russia, would make an interesting A-50 Mainstay replacement.

Hehe, but that won't happen anytime soon. The Il-86 is OOP for a long time, and the PS-90 powered A-50 is far better suited. If anything, the Il-96 would be used

coolness !

I like it..... packing heat or not..
Really, if an AEW has to pack its own heat (other than looking real cool) what is the rest of the air force doing ?
No use having a dog and barking yourself ?

I can relate. I am on the fourth iteration of psr on the falke, and that anigrand C-17 took about a zillion coats of putty. I am sure your jet will come out fantastically.

Looks great from over here! Well, get her perfect, then.

COMRADES!!!!!

Is GLORIOUS day in GREAT Soviet Union!!!

Tovarish, the works of your OKB's diligent workers is indeed inspired by your latest socialist masterpiece. Truly, the decadent running dog West will fear taking to the sky! This wonderful plane outdoes what the lazy West's E-3 attempts to do, but does better! With GLORIOUS WING FENCES no less!

Comrade, a tanker of vodka is en route to your factory!

ZA RODINA!!!
