Tu-4 AWACS.

Something a little different. This is a reverse engineered B-29, based on USAF examples that crashed on Soviet soil. Tupelov design bureau built them. This one went to China where it was upgraded with turboprops and converted to an AWACS testbed! It’s now at the amazing PLAF Museum near Beijing.
