This was a quickie illustration I drew of the Soviet Tupolev ANT-25.
First flown in 1933 this ungainly machine set several distance records with it's ability to fly over 7000 miles non stop.

Very dramatic Gray.
That's one of your best, gray.
I really like that one.
Such an interesting airplane. I really like the old-styles and paint schemes. This is a wonderful work, Gray!
Just awesome Grahm.
Thanks all for your kind words.
"Just a quickie..." :-O Imagine what you'd come up with if you just put your mind to it!!! :eek:
Say, Gray, have you ever considered, as subject matter, Bill Overstreets pursuit of a German fighter under the Eiffel Tower?
Absolutely fantastic Gray, I love that red which you selected, greatly dominating beside the same good selection of white/blue
Nice drawing Gray. So it was one of the first spy planes with its large wingspan like the U.S.'s U2 but 25 years previous?
BR, thanks. Bill Overstreets ride under the Eiffel tower chasing a 109 must have been quite a sight. I agree it would make a great illustration.
csehz thanks, red just isn't my favorite colour.:)
Albacore, I think it was built to study and set distance and endurance records. For spying it was too slow and easy to shoot down.
