Wow Borg that looks fantastic - it certainly is a big bird!

It's a very interesting design - it's basically two aircraft joined together at the wingtips. It makes you wonder how big the forces must be in the middle of the centre wing.
I'm not sure I'd want to fly in it actually.

Me neither!
I would want to fly in the rocket powered mini plane they drop from the wobbly centre and reaches space!

I imagine that central wing box spar would be on the same design plane strengthwise as twin boomed transports like the C-119 and Nordatlas.portman wrote:It's a very interesting design - it's basically two aircraft joined together at the wingtips.

It’s not like there are many surplus B-29 or B-52 motherships left for this sort of thing. Modern jet lines all have a low wing design so attaching the test ship is problematic. They had to design everything for this: The research ship and the carrier mothership.

Okay, I am still alive. Doing fine, lockdown like the rest of the world.
And although it is only a month before moving I have done some modelling.
The model was painted with white paint from a rattle can. Went on smooth. Then a coat of Future. And then the decals. Lots of decals! Now I remember why I like building soviet aircraft, slap some red stars on and you are done! Not here, there are dozens a of decals!
Fortunately the quality it very good. Thin but strong.
Lastly I did some detail painting with brush but with the use of some masking tape for straight lines.

That's one funky aircraft. Colorful too!
