I wish there was some Tu-95KM model around in 1:144. That was the early one with a funky cruise missile attached under the belly (sort of like a simplified jet fighter, but a flying bomb). A book on the subject claimed that the preparation for loading up the nuclear munition was initially around 18 hours iirc, and then later reduced to some 6 hours or so, some time in the late 50's iirc. The KM also had a belly turret at the rear, and a more pronounced radar/sensor dome on the nose.

Don't think I can buy 1:72 models, as they are so very large.

Ah, thanks for the quite interesting facts ... I would not buy such a big plane in 1:72 either as even in 1:144 it is still a big thing for a generic house/room etc. I was able to find here the only one project completed for KM in 1:72 and it looks spectacular 😉 ...

Great interior! Watching

Thanks mate, but this is purely due to the great 3D decals from Quinta 🙂
