– FS2004 Myasishchev 3MS-1 Bison-B

FS2004 Myasishchev 3MS-1 Bison-B. One of the Soviet Unions’ most underestimated aircraft, the Myasishchev bomber usually known as the M-4 ‘Bison’ or ‘Molot’ has probably been at least as important to the development of the Long-Range Aviation (DA) and the AVMF (Soviet Naval Aviation) as the better known Tupolev Tu-95 Bear. With the expansion of the Soviet Navy in the 1950’s and 60’s, many Bison-B’s were transferred to the AVMF to serve as long range reconaissance aircraft. The Bison-B was one of the first Soviet types to carry a flight re-fuelling probe, a number of the ‘Bison-As’ being converted to tanker configuration. Model by Brett Hoskins. Textures by Mike Mahat.
