Looks good :thumbsup:
Interesting what a simple tail switch can achieve! Looks good, even though it has IMHO lost its Soviet-ness?
The Soviets built many aircraft but none were civil. Usually drunk and rude.

When some American put turbine engine and shark graphics on a SU-26, it became even more rude than usual:

Drunk, rude - and a people with many magnificent artists as well. Mussorgskys the walking theme of "pictures at an exhibition" is still one of my go-to pieces when I need to focus.
Ah, what has the world become.. :-\

Mussorgsky's "Promenade/Great Gate of Kiev" theme was what madame R used as her entry music for our wedding....... we both very much appreciate it! We used "The entry of the Queen of Sheba" (Handel) to go out to. I would agree that the whole of Pictures at an Exhibition is music worth listening to.

A worthy and well suited use of that music indeed, I must say! :thumbsup:

There's a YouTube channel called Found & Explained that has a video on the Russian 747 and the reasons behind why they didn't build their own instead of buying them from Boeing.
