Cool.  I like that.

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

Yeah, the whole "Luft '46 as captured and in EAA/RAE/NACA schemes"-thing is a cool idea. I plan a few.

Came upon this neat Tu-110 airliner profile:



Made me wonder about a Comet in Aeroflot colors?

Nice.  Any one kit the 110?  They only built two IRL.

There's an 1:144 resin kit from AWM, IIRC, but I am not aware of an IP kit?

Tupolev, a model firm, not the full size one, did a Tu-104 in 1/144 rather appropriately, & I've got one too. That would be a good basis for a Tu-110 conversion I guess.

As for a Comet in an Aeroflot scheme, I LOVE it!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

There was an Aeroflot Comet in an old 1960's spy movie. the plane was called the Dove Of Peace I think.

I'd at least give it a glass nose for the navigator.  ;)

Interestingly enough, there was a Tu-114 in JAL service for a bit. It's certainly a bit unfamiliar to see a Soviet plane in some non-Soviet Bloc markings.

I don't have the book to hand right now but IIRC the first 110 was a 104 with two extra engines while the second one was stretched with broader chord wings.

The conversions both had a new wing center section, the number one was based on the Tu-104A,
number two had the stretched fuselage and increased chord flaps of the Tu-104B.

I saw this over at Britmodeller, a 1/72 Convair Model 200 V/STOL. Great scratch build.
