| Revell Model Kit - Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear" - 04673
Developed initially as a
Strategic Long-Range Bomber, the Tu-95 was one of the most unique
military aircraft. The Tu-95RTs (NATO designation "Bear" D) variant was
developed for the Soviet Navy between 1959 and 1962 for use in the
roles of electronic reconnaissance and target tracking of aircraft,
surface ships and submarines. Mass production began in 1963 and from
1966 onwards the aircraft - in co-operation with Soviet submarines -
were an integral part of the Navy's Inter-Continental Missile Attack
System. Regular flights over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans enabled an
almost continuous surveillance and tracking of NATO Maritime Units as
well as the ships of other Navy's. For over three decades the Tu-95RTs
was an Icon of the "Cold War" due to its frequent presence within the
vicinity of NATO Maritime Units. In 1990 the Naval Airborne Forces of
the Soviet Union had over 37 Tu-95RTs' available.
