Description: U & azebuy Shop of toys and models from Ukraine DESCRIPTION Tupolev Tu-116 Passenger Aircraft 1/72 Scale Plastic Model Kit Amodel 72031Manufacturer: AMODELMaterial: PlasticCondition: New in original packagingHistorical referenceTu-116 (Tu-114D), "project 116" - a passenger version of the Tu-95M serial bomber for intercontinental flights of representatives of the top leadership of the USSR; the letter "D" means "diplomatic", and not "distant", as previously published in the literature. Two Tu-95M bombers were re-equipped, in case of a possible delay in the development of the Tu-114 liner.The aircraft was refitted as follows - all components and assemblies of weapons were completely dismantled, a pressurized passenger cabin from two compartments with portholes was mounted in the center section. The compartment for the first persons of the state was calculated for three people, the second salon - for 20 people. There was also a kitchen, a toilet, a service room for security. In the rear part of the bottom of the pressurized cabin there was an entrance ladder lowered down.The crew of the aircraft consisted of two pilots, a flight engineer, a flight radio operator, a navigator-navigator and a navigator-pilot (for international flights). There were two flight attendants and a navigator in the passenger cabin to inform senior officials about flight parameters and other special information requiring aviation education. Behind the cockpit, a compartment was equipped with additional oil tanks for the engines and hydraulic systems of the aircraft. A container with a parachute was installed in the tail section of the fuselage, designed for emergency descent. To save people during splashdown, two emergency inflatable boats LAS-5 and three inflatable rafts were installed on the plane.Both aircraft had civilian colors and Aeroflot registration numbers. Two copies were built (No. 7801 and No. 7802).The Tu-114 modification with the same name Tu-114D has nothing to do with the Tu-116 aircraft and its index is a coincidence.Payment Policy We accept only PayPal Shipping Policy We ship WORLDWIDE.We will ship your purchase to your eBay address using AIRMAIL with TRACKING NUMBER.
