Description
from wikipedia:
"the Bartini A-57 was an experimental Soviet bomber and seaplane from the mid-1950s that was designed by Robert Ludvigovich Bartini. The aircraft was never put into production. The A-57 was equipped with a lift jet (similar to VTOL aircraft today) facing downward to assist its take-off from the surface of the ocean. It was intended to refuel from submarines out at sea. The bomber had a long, slender delta wing called the Bartini Wing. A 1500 mph (supersonic) speed was planned. It was tested in wind tunnels, but the project was scrapped in 1957 before actual production could begin. Possibly because the Soviet Government after the launch of Sputnik 1 believed that the new R-7 ICBM made bombers less required and decided the Tu-95 would do and that the A-57 project was too expensive along with the perspective that such an aircraft was not needed."

I enjoyed 3d modeling this plane and love the look of the finished models, if you feel the same about yours, please consider boosting!
i think this might be one of my favorite models i've made! the little parasite plane on the top can even detach from the larger plane which i love so much! i've been wanting to make a model of this plane along with the DSB-LK darkstar for over a year now, and i finally got to do it! After printing, please add pics to your reviews when your done printing, and feel free to color your models after (which i reccomend!). Thank you for taking thime out of your day to check out this little models! <3
