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......

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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