The other item that I have a question on is the size of the bomb bay.

The main looks like it came from the Myasishchev M-4 or M-50 and is massive. Once you store these puppies and the engines, how much unused space is there?

But putting reality in your back pocket, it is pretty.

Quote: "It's the Sukhoi Kr-830 (aka Kp-830?) concept for a twin deck very large airliner which was promoted in the late 90s but hasn't seemed to go anywhere. An interesting feature is that the concept has folding wings to allow it to get closer to the terminal etc... and double front landing gear assemblies..."

I actually remember doing a model along the same line ("twined" SR-71) when I was a little boy, when I was under the incorrect assumption that the P-38 doesn't have a centrally-located cockpit......  ;D

(The result, of course, was a mess since my age was single-digit at that time.  But it was fun.)
Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

Fokker F26



The F26 was a low wing all-metal aircraft seating 17 passengers. As a novelty for a Fokker aircraft, there was to be a pressurized cabin.

The proposed engines were Rolls-Royce Nenes, the most powerful turbojets at the time. To assist accessibility, the engines were positioned beneath the front fuselage - again an innovation. And the low-mounted wing was to be equipped with flaps. A three-man crew was envisaged: two pilots side-by-side, and behind them a wireless operator facing aft. The passenger cabin had a double row of seats on the starboard side and a single row on the port.

At the rear end of the cabin was a toilet as well as two cargo holds. The retractable landing gear was of tricycle layout. A cruising speed of 500 mph and a range of 620 miles were given in a brochure. Later descriptions in the aviation press refer to the F26 as a "praiseworthy effort to develop a jet airliner". KIM was quite interested in the Fokker concept as can be seen from the minutes of a meeting on 6 October 1948 when a number of Fokker specialists briefed KLM boss Plesman and technical director Henk Veenendaal. Encouraged by the airline's response, Fokker's Preliminary Design Department made a few more designs of twin-jet airliners which were discussed with KLM and the Netherlands Institute for Aircraft Development (NIV).

In Plesman's view however, the development of a jet airliner would be too much for Fokker to manage alone. He proposed cooperation with cle Havilland in England who were known to be working on a jet liner - later named the Comet.

Subsequently there was some contact and an exchange of information between the two companies as shown by design drawings in the Fokker archives. In October 1949 Ir. P. J. C. Vos, a director of Fokker, wrote to Professor Dr. Ir. H. J. van der Maas about a comparison between a jet and turboprop airliner.






You could build a US copy using either a C-46 Commando or the Boeing 307.

Wow! That's an amazingly hideous, yet mysteriously attractive design!
Curses, I've never heard of "International Resin Modellers" before. I see they HAD an Avro jetliner. Emphasis on HAD. Twas a tad expensive though.

I started a scratchbuild in 1/350 scale of the F26. I even made the engine pods in resin, but I never finished the model. I just lost interest after knocking the wings off for the 10th time.

Maybe I should try to make it in 3D

I like them too, but I can't see how the wing can sweep back into the slots in the fuselage just where the upper engines would be ----  ::)
