Tupolev Tu-108

From SPF:

Tupolev made an entry into the composite bomber program in 1952 with his 'Aircraft 100' paired with the 'Aircraft 108' supersonic carrier. Many different configurations of the '108' were proposed along with a multitude of different power plants to go along with it; AM-17, VD-5M, and VD-7M turbojets, P-8 turboprops, NK-6 turbofans, and P-4 non-afterburning turbofans. After considerable work had been carried out on the '108' design, the "rocket era" had begun and the whole composite bomber program was cancelled on July 31, 1958. There was a bomber version for the first design with VD-5M turbojets, but am I correct on saying that there were bomber versions of nearly all the proposals?

A B-58-Turboprop-ski?

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Between various scale B-58 kits and F-102, F-106, Tu-20, Tu-95, C-130, etc....    Something can be figured out.
