Soviet 1941 Schneider Trophy winner

After the 1931 was won by Macchi MC-72 which ended the UK winning streak and preventing the trophy going to the UK permanently, the winners of the following competitions were:
1933 - Curtiss R4C
1935 - Supermarine S-7
1937 - Macchi MC-86
1939 - No race due to international tensions
1941 - Beriev B-10M (First ever USSR entry in Schneider Trophy)

The Beriev B-10M was an aircraft planned by the Soviet Union's Beriev Design Bureau from 1935 to 1941; it was designed with the goal of surpassing the speed record at the time. The propulsion contra-rotating propeller is driven by two engines, on an all-metal fuselage. The radiator is placed inside the fuselage to reduce the front projection area.

I LOVE the look of that, and it's so very Beriev-like too.

I can just see that sliding down the ramp at Taganrog.  ;D

l'm glad that 1939's international tensions relented a bit by 1941, because that's a looker  :thumbsup:

I like the look of this. I'm guessing it sits rather more horizontal once on the water and "steps up" as it builds up speed

I followed your FB link and saw also their nice twin-boom glider Ku-7 and motorized version Ki-105, 1/144.
I asked them there the price and they sent me their catalogue prices (in Yens) with the Ki-105 as the B-10 about 35€ (35 US $).
Thanks again for this discovery. <_<

The profile picture of the B-10 model is inspiring me: I have drawn such a Mustang P-51B with tandem engines and pusher contra-rotative propellers, thanks!

And I have been inspired too for drawing a B-10Z zwilling, at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=20326.6195  <_<
Thanks again! ;D
