Unlike the German projects of the first jet aircraft, little is known about their Soviet counterparts. These are really the first projects of Soviet jet aircraft, and not those that are considered the first, like the MiG or Yak´s.
At start, it was typical a propdriven plane changed to jet engine by a big underbelly...
One of the first Soviet designers who worked on jet aircraft in the USSR was M.I. Gudkov.
The failure with promising developments of the Gu- jetfighter ideas , which were actually buried by the Russian Aviator Comitee leadership, and ineffective jetengines, did not break Gudkov’s will to design new aircrafts.
One was this:
Pretty "fat-bellyed".... He was also codesigner of different other planes, with or without jets. As this :
BUT, in my search of next build, i found i wanted something to use a EDF in, and i did searched among others, on different more modern planes...
till suddenly found a short part in a video (few seconds) on early russian jets, and after more research did found some 3d pictures /illustrations made of the plane... a WARBIRD , close similar to typical prop-driven planes, with just a minor fatter belly, with jet engine as idea by constructor Gudkov. He was also codesigner son some planes as the Russian Lagg3 (Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov )
who had many similaritys by the Western other propeller driven planes of that time.
He came up with this idea for a superb jetplane....
FANTASTIC deign!! This is gonna be my next build!! By different info, also by Lagg3 and Mig, i canmaake some similar plane, and use a EFD laying around!!
