The Soviets only made 2 of the M-50s, with a top speed of 1200 mph and a payload of 66000 lbs. There was one small bombbay centerline on the aircraft with no other armment for defence.
As with all Soviet the letters in front of the numbers is the manfacuture, in this case Myasishchev design bureau. There isnt much info on this plane out there, but it must of been like flying a rocket, small wings and big engines.
The crew could be loaded by way of lowering the ejection seats on rails under the nose, which was different. And they could eject up or down. The undercarriag is simaler to a b-52, but the front set of wheels could be raised on takeoff to change the angles of the wings.
When I look for a build I like to do the unusaual, and the Soviets sure had a lot of different birds too choose from. This is an Amodel kit and one of the better fitting of parts than normal. With plastic, resin, and fiberglass parts. I am enjoying this build, where as haveing problems with the TU-128, she had to go back again for more putty work. thats why I havent finshed her yet. but I am close.
please excuse my bad spelling......
