    long term project: Tupolev TU-2

    My dad just brought back the first piece of one of 2 TU-2 bombers we will be redoing. this piece is friggen ginormous! this plane was build in Russia some time in the early 40s and then sometime after the war,it made its way to china until the late 80s when it was retired. then some time not to long after that it was brought to the states where they sat in the dry desert air. its in remarkably good shape considering this thing is over 65 years old.






    internal bombay


    and since im sure almost none of you know what this thing looks like assembled, here is a pic i pulled off the web


    i should also mention there are none of these currently flying
