Myasishchev M-52 (Heavy transporter)

MODULAR AIRCRAFT

[quiet forum]

additional model

[hearty meteor]

its almost like they were trying to make it look as strange as possible

[neon hollow]

Nope

Modular Aircraft

[dusk sentinel]

why the plane🫃

[sullen roost]

it looks ai generated.

[austere hollow]

oh god

atrocity

i want it

[feral bramble]

wtf

[kind moth]

We already have a M-52

[quiet forum]

its not that M-52

[feral bramble]

thats the bomber

[kind moth]

did this have a different name at all?

[feral bramble]

m-52a1;m-52a2;m-52a;m-52b;

[quiet forum]

no

russians recycle designations from failed projects often

Tu-204 was supposed to be a L-1011 knockoff

uhhh what else what else

i forgor

[feral bramble]

m-55

[marsh kindle]

i found this a while back and it meets criteria but it has ass blueprints

[kind moth]

156 got reused didn't it?

[quiet forum]

oh yes

156 was for AWACs but then became a 154 variant to test alt fuels

[feral bramble]

and tu-155

[marsh kindle]

theres atleast like 3 or 4 M-52s

[marsh kindle]

yea

[kind moth]

one of them doesn't have a modular cargo bit

[quiet forum]

yeah i figured you know of it but i saw no suggestion or anything on trello so

[marsh kindle]

thats another problem because since these never left the drawing board they never got an alternate designation

like the Ye-8 was originally called the MiG-23 but it got canned

[feral bramble]

and turned into

[marsh kindle]

but they still actually made a working one so they had to give it a new name when the actual MiG-23 came around

[marsh kindle]

true that

[kind moth]

what about this M-52

[marsh kindle]

holy shit theres blueprints????

[kind moth]

I think I drew something similar in primary school

[feral bramble]

[marsh kindle]

i didnt know that one had blueprints

[kind moth]

you seen this yet?

[marsh kindle]

thats the suggested one

[kind moth]

yeah but the blueprint

[marsh kindle]

oh

i dont think so

[kind moth]

quality doesn't seem to be that great

[marsh kindle]

could be worse

its just the shape of the front half thats pretty questionable

because its like an egg cross section

the rest isnt as bad

[kind moth]

take the nose from the beluga

it looks the same

IT HAD PROPS

[marsh kindle]

real

oh yea i remember seeing that

i think that was another unrelated M-52 design

[feral bramble]

[kind moth]

wait but then there must be different nose sections

[marsh kindle]

no the rest of the design is different too

massive booms

entirely different rudder

even the wing is pretty different

[kind moth]

this is unrelated as well then right?

[marsh kindle]

nah thats related

[kind moth]

would the nose be adv customiation

[marsh kindle]

yea

[kind moth]

I kinda like the bigger nose too

[marsh kindle]

you can see the top half of the nose still has the egg shape

but the bottom half is a brick instead

[kind moth]

yeah

there are round brick ones too

[marsh kindle]

real

[feral bramble]

{unrelated}

[still orbit]

project 52

[tribal dirge]

even though this aircraft has an odd design, it has potential.

[mental nymph]

I’m still amazed this isn’t rejected

[quiet forum]

why would it be

[mental nymph]

Uh…

Well I’d be amazed if Aussie actually manages to convince others to add it

[quiet forum]

[glossy musk]

I mean isn't the aussie the soviet plane guy?

or ussr vehicle person?

[glossy musk]

and that plane looks like a black swallower
