I am not the best paint or photoshop guy by any stretch. :-[ But you have to start somewhere and its nice to have an idea of how things look before the kit chopping happens. Please note not everything will be to scale.

I love the BMP hull and its got a great size to it. my favorite Russian SAM is the SA-8 Gecko. This is a Gecko turret on a BMP hull educated guess on the scaling
I had this idea for Japan originally, (might still do it in kit form, with bigger radial engines) But I wanted to take a look at it here first O0:

B-29 green nose by Mark Styling. (put it on there for contrast) for the record, a B-29 and Tu-95 do have the same fuselage size as far as my 1/72 scale kits can show :)

Putting a B-29 nose on a Bear is truly inspired comrade Tomcat!
Such incredible ingenuity is a credit to the great Lenin and a mark of the Modern Soviet Man!
1,000 orders of the Red Banner and a Lada as a reward for your fine example!

I agree: congratulations! :)

The Bull nose works nicely on the Bear. Now make a Bear-nosed Bull! ;)
If memory serves me right, the Badger's nose should also work. A Badger with a Bull nose should look almost Luft '46-ish.

I like the air defence BMP
