I was unable to find much information on this plane, other than a few basic 3 views. Originally I wished to make the TB-6 version, but I had no clue where the gunners and bomb bay/s go..

@Falkenwut I made a few modifications.......Lord above forgive me
@TheHaggisBasher It is in the works, however I have many other projects in mind before even starting this, so don't hold expect it any time soon.
Why not build it yourself? The scaling is the only hard part, the rest is no different than any other plane...
Can you remake dis? @Falkenwut
Wow the name fits perfectly. It’s tiny.
@Falkenwut Just... WOW, it looks very good!!!!
By the way, I added the bombs and guns. I couldn't find that much information on this plane, but I did my best.
Haha! Took a half hour to turn around (kidding) but loved every bit of it.
I am wing
@niggelas100 agreed 👌🏼
@Falkenwut yea love the early aviation planes
@Mustang51 rc would be even cooler haha
@niggelas100 This specific model might not have existed, however it does come a long line of husky bomber planes from the 1930s.
@niggelas100 I really want a scale model of it now hahaha
@Mustang51 this model looks great also didnt know this thing existed
@Falkenwut whoops! It’s probably a good reference for an armed version though
@Mustang51 The link you sent is of model ANT-26, not 28... A lot of these models are VERY VERY similar.. Good find though! Probably had the same overall gunnery though...
Here is a webpage with photos of a lovely model of one. It’s a unique version but very cool and worth building in my opinion
Also the bomber has one glass turret at the front with one machine gun, two open turrets on the top (one in the middle of the wings and one the middle of the plane), one open rear gunner, and two gunners in what I would describe as something like enclosed glass gondola’s on the trailing edge of the wings right behind the elevated engines. Then two more of those gondola turret things but on the leading edge of the wings on the outside of the outboard engines. I hope this helps!
This is a really neat build. Also thank you for teaching me something new today, I had no idea this plane ever existed. I have to do some reading on it now
@lastv801 here you go :)
