Tupolev TB-3

7,102 BarrettTheFerret  7.0 years ago

This is my replica of the 1930s Soviet bomber that was used to transport troops, cargo, and even parasite fighters or a tankette. She was used during the Battle of Khalkin Gol (against Japan) and the Winter War (against Finland). The TB-3s later made up one fourth of the Soviet bombers in use by 1941. This model is almost exactly to scale and is a bit faster than the one in real life. Hope you all enjoy, because I sure enjoyed making her!

    @HellRaiser the TB-3 was built in the early 1930s, plus the soviets from what I hear were developing strategic long-range bomber of their own, but the landing of 2 B-29s in Siberia led them to cancel the program and reverse engineer the B-29 over a think was a two-year program to develop the TU-4.

    but the TB-3 had been officially withdrawn from service years before the German invasion of Russia in mid-1941, and with the Soviet practically losing the whole of the airforce overnight, the TB-3 was reintroduced into front line service.
