01 Tupolev Tu-95RT Bear-D - a photo on Flickriver

            Here is a revised version of my Tupolev Tu-95 Bear. My original Tu-95 was one of my first large-scale LDD models and a sentimental favourite. As I’ve moved on to other projects and picked up new building techniques, I’ve always wanted to return and correct a few of the Tu-95’s problems. 

For this variant, I’ve cleaned up shape of the fuselage, the engine nacelles, and modelled as best I could the electronic suite of the Tu-95RTs Bear-D. I also “smoothed” the wing surface, employing a flat and stud design from my MiG-31. My biggest problem was introducing functional flaps and ailerons: the design of the wing (angle and taper) does not allow for an easy solution, especially with the awkward connection of the engine nacelles. I’ve tried a few variations but could not get the shape right. I opted, instead, for the profile over articulating elements. If anyone out there has any ideas on how to rectify this issue, please let me know—I would love to learn a new building technique for this wing shape. 

In the meantime, have a look at this new variant. As always, please leave a comment if you like.
