Tupolev Tu-144 Imperial Russian Airways



The Tu-144 was the world's first commercial supersonic transport aircraft with its prototype's maiden flight from Zhukovsky Airport on 31 December 1968, two months before the British-French Concorde. The Tu-144 was a product of the Tupolev Design Bureau, an OKB headed by aeronautics pioneer Aleksey Tupolev.







Model: Zvezda 1/144

More great work, Tom (don't you sleep these days??). 

I've a Zvezda Il-62 I may do something similar with.  If not an 'Imperial Aeroflot' then a Romanov Russian Air Force VIP/Royal Flight.

If the Romanov's had continued on
their line they might be approaching
