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!

Comrade Tomcatolov, we of The Committee of State Sanctioned Modelling, Alternative History and Tractor Carburettor Production welcome these entries as the superior product of the spirit of world socialism and are sure to confound and humiliate our enemies wherever they may hide.

Ludmila*, the newly promoted Second Deputy Assistant Secretary to the Office of the Moderator was just complimenting your recent works.

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.
