The big planes from the big country, all time periods and manufacturers.

Found this Mi-12 three view and thought I'd modify it into a tandem like a chinook and stick it next to an Mi-26 and CH-47 for scale.

Tupolev ANT-20 'Maxim Gorsky'. Eight engines, wingspan of 63.00 m (206 ft 8 in). Pretty much defined 'BIG' for the 1930s  :smiley:
