Glad you're doing the Tzar Bomba version. Will the bomb be on its trolley when its on the ground to show its size?

For the Tu-126 Moss, there were 12 built but only one variant, the original. However, there were a couple of tweaks done during the production life of the aircraft, with some noticeable physical differences, so I have three distinct variants, differentiated by their construction numbers in the series. Plus, notice the very nearly-finished alpha model and master paint......

Wow wow and more wow!! Outstanding again Mike

Getting itchy fingers now, can't wait to have the Tu-95's and 126's in my FS Skies

[Makadocias]

My God Mike..... you deserve a statue as far as I'm concerned!!!

You're a HERO!!!

Love your creations!

THANK YOU!!!

These just went to the AVSIMs, should be available in a little while; this is the export package with the early/late Su-24MK and Su-24MRK, with 15 models and 51 repaints. I found a global error to the physical model that affects all variants, and another one to about half of my D models. These are little things and don't really detract from the basic premise of dynamic scenery, but I want to be consistent across the board, so there will be a service pack. As a sweetner, I will include the paint kits and some bonus models with the buddy-store refuel pod that the Ds carry.

Exactly what I am waiting for

Hi Mike, speaking of Service Pack, I think there is a little problem. It seems to be untextured.
But may be you've already noticed it

that's belly white, not untextured.......

[bismarck]

...sorry...

[mikeblaze]

no worries, moments like these keep us grounded that these projects are really just dynamic scenery objects, and not cutting-edge flyable models, lol. However, I do strive to make them really nice scenery objects.

Here is a size comparison of the Tsar Bomba. It is actually shorter than the standard AS-4 and AS-5 antiship missiles, just much, much more stout. All objects in the picture are in scale relation to one another. Originally designed for 100MT, detonated at 50MT, all I can say is.... boom.

Hi Mike, another great shot of your works , I wish I could run all your planes ! The Bear is definetly one, because they work in a european scenerio .

Thanks Mike for your time and God for giving you these capabilities.

[mikeblaze]

Here's a little deviation from the norm, the civilian airliner variants, Tu-114 and Tu-116. The Tu-116 was designed as a VIP transport stop-gap while the Tu-114 was being completed, and only two -116's were built, and used as crew ferry transports. The Tu-114 is about seven meters longer, and quite a bit larger than the Tu-114, a good size comparison for the Tu-126 vs. the Tu-95.

[VulcanDriver]

Can you do the JAL version too please?

[mikeblaze]

Can you do the JAL version too please?

Of course......

[VulcanDriver]

Lovely, I've got a retro flightplan that needs it

[mikeblaze]

Here are the core single-LOD betas for the Tu-95 side of the project..... I originally estimated 15 base models for the whole thing, and with the Tu-114/116/126 we are up to 12 now, and I haven't finished the Tu-142 betas yet.

Can you do the JAL version too please?

I have to admit that I'm completely distracted by your model collection in the back ground. Very Nice Sir.

[mikeblaze]

Yeah, I kind of thought that, too....

[gvbeek]

Where are these guys coming from ?
