Auto Credit Based on Teus's Bartini A-57

The Bartini A-57, an experimental Russian bomber that was intended to be used to drop atomic bombs on the United States during the Cold War. It was scrapped because of the development of conventional missiles. The Bartini was able to land on land, water, or ice, and would be refueled by Russian submarines.

One of my favorite designs for an aircraft ever. Would love to see a version using the fuselage blocks, I merely added the nuke inside and updated the cockpit. Full credit goes to the OP, of course.
