Hence, no obvious inconsistency.

The plane is different in almost every picture. <br /><br />The Russian artists are amazing. I've seen 3D model CAD generated renderings of guns created by modelers, artists really, that are better than any photograph of a real piece, and these people never even held one. They do the work from photos and drawings, such is the state of modern mechanical engineering software (CAD). <br /><br />These images look a lot like CAD models that have been rendered well. I wish I had time to make such cool planes.

The first two pictures are some other plane entirely. Note single vs. dual tails, for example.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245646229814895145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-29768041475935289192010-07-23T11:38:57.434+01:002010-07-23T11:38:57.434+01:00The concept isn't that far fetched considering...The concept isn't that far fetched considering the Maxim Gorky was actually in service until a drunk fighter pilot tried to loop around it and stuck his plane in it's wing. <br /><br />(the Maxim Gorky actually had offices in the wing roots)<br /><br />Thanks Lots for posting the pics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09640319258873281684noreply@blogger.com
