It’s been some time since I last checked in. Been awfully busy with all sorts of stuff and Christmas didn’t help with it either! Speaking of which, hope you all had a great one and happy New Year to you all… Only 8 days late to the party.
Background
This is one from the backlog. T’was made some time ago shortly after publishing the… er… predecessor. A bomber aircraft. So I did a Tupolev and turned it into an airliner. Fortunately, it doesn’t snap in half when pulling hard Gs. cough
While visually quite similar to the bomber, there are a few changes made. The fuselage was widened to accommodate more people, military equipment has been removed (some speculate that Rob from mechanics forgot to remove a nuke or two, but let's not get too petty). And an antenna or two for civilian purposes has been equipped. Paint scheme might have changed too.

Greetings! Big size is good, but how about making them to have realistic weights of several hundred or even thousand metric tons?
@Squirrel Please make tell me your gonna make another BIG Vehicle, i love the size of these!
@Squirrel I'm making a bigger plane.
@Brields95 in what sense?
I might be able to give you a run for your money.
omg
this actually is a very cool airliner build. lets hope Airbus or Boeing take notice of such a design cause if they make an IRL version i would definitely pay an expensive ticked just to fly in such a plane 10/10
Squirrel still lives!!!! hehe
But can you make it carrier-based?
Pretty epic
