Tupolev TU-22 "Blinder"

My best attempt at re-creating this really cool soviet bomber! This is the second one of these I've shared, and this one is my pride and joy. I put many many hours into making this one as close as I could to the real thing. It is much bigger than my original, and features many upgrades. I know it's still not perfect, I think the shape of the fuselage is a bit too fat, the cockpit is not accurate, and despite hours of tweaking, the cockpit glass is still not right. Also, I have no idea what the bomb bay configuration on the real plane is as I was not able to find any pictures of it, so I just winged it and did my own thing. But how about these cool features?! Dual internal bomb bays, wing flaps, air brakes, parachute for short landings, external lights, and just general soviet "coolness." But in all seriousness, I did put a ton of time into this plane and I hope y'all enjoy it.
