Say what ?

Larger than a B-52 even ?

Actually, yes, but only slightly.

Ah, ok.
For some reason I'd thought it only a bit larger than a B1.

variable absolutes. This is not to be mistaken for an unbiased slant.

I built a 1:72 scale model of a Tu-160. About 3/4 of the way down the page
at http://www.flankerman.fsnet.co.uk/modl_tu160.html
is a plan view of a Tu-160 with a B-1 superimposed over it.

And down at the bottom of -
http://www.flankerman.fsnet.co.uk/modl_tu160_page3.html
there are photos of the finished model Tu-160 next to a model B-1 and Tu-22M
Backfire for size comparison.
