Russia's Super B-29 The TU-85 Barge

I have been going through all the B-29 Mania models for FS9..wonderful work. The Soviets improved on the TU-4 and designed the TU-85 which NATO called the Barge it was twice as big as the B-29...but resembled a super B-29 I have found little information on it but have a drawing of it in my old Air Progress 1961 issue. It would be a great addition to our B-29 Mania achrive...I am sorry I have no expertise to build one (I was a flop in trying to design a airplane in Abacus's design program) They said I could do it in 2 hours...after 2 weeks I made little progress.

Cheers
