Nice work, guys! Love the helis, DP. And Psilander's jet seaplane looks quite cool too ;) Any plans on doing it in regular FD style?

Pretty awesome. Is that a gun in the tail? How come, it seems to be a civilian livery?

Yes, it is a military cargo plane (the registration is real) which was in Aeroflot scheme, a common method in the USSR to cancel VTA aircraft. The tail turret is equiped with a 23mm dual gun.

Nice. Not an expert on Russian cargo-planes, but looks okay to me

To add to that, most of the post war soviet airliners were designed with placement for a tail gun so that if the Cold War turned hot, the civilian aircraft could be rapidly converted into additional military transport and in some of them bombers.

But why a tailgun? It seems like such a WW2 thing...

Most bombers continued to have tail guns until the 1960s and in a few case even until the 1970s. Before effective counter measures were developed and accurate guided missiles, air combat was still considered to be a close combat, gun vs gun affair. The Vought Crusader was the last of the gun fighters. It was only with good missiles that the gun was abandoned temporarily (early F-4s had no guns which many crews complained about).

Who wouldn't? There's nothing to fall back on when you run out of missiles.
