I have looked all over the internet for internal diagrams/floor plans/ etc for the Tu-95 "Bear" Russian bomber, but have not been able to find any details about the inside of the aircraft...Some cockpit pictures is about all I have found...Does anyone know of a location for such internal diagrams? Thanks a lot... Steve in Kansas

- Edit:
Oh dear, they've got awesome plans of the MiG-23!

Must...not...start...3DS...Max...gotta...finish...Dornier....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
 
You really gotta hand it to those Russians. They *know* what a good 3-view has to look like with fuelage cross sections et al.


If I remember those awful 3views I've used for my 328...dang, the whole model was way off...but at least it made me start photos as resources for everything which isn't too bad at all.
 
The book I linked to above claims to have pics of the crew stations...don't know how useful they are for VC design,though.
 
The problem is twofold: first, though it's great to have pics for perspective, they are usually not good enough quality for readability and second, because the plane is Russian, Cyrillic characters are going to make it even harder to judge what does what.

When we did our Su-30MKI and the Mig-29 we, fortunately, had access to the manuals for these. That, of course, made it easy.

If anyone finds a Tu95 FM somewhere.... let us know. We will jump right on it.
