Hello All,

Downloaded these pics and was wondering if this aircraft actually existed.
By the looks of its' mammoth size I think it is actually a very detailed
drawing. It looks like it has a wingspan wider than the Spruce Goose!
If this were an actual aircraft that had been constructed I am sure it
would have been in many TV documentaries.

The photo shows the Kalinin K-7. It did fly fairly OK but was destroyed
in a crash: Lookee he

The other images are kinda cool. A scaled-up fantasy version. Pretty
convincing. They'd be even more convincing if the concrete tarmac were
replaced by grass. Where do they come from?

Thanks for a shot of the "real" plane. Do my eyes decieve me, or is
that thing running *wooden* propellors!?

This is a CGI produced image of a project from Kalinin based on the K-
7 but about twice the size. Check out your Shavrov or Gunston Soviet
aircraft books.
