I'm going to say it is one of many fantastic Luftwaffe designs that never got off paper.
And really, that plane would get knocked backwards as soon as those guns fired, provided it was even capable of moving forward.

Well, it's clearly a computer/3D rendering of something. No such aircraft has ever been built (let alone flown) in real life though.

That is an artist's redition of the Russian K-7. It was a real plane, and did fly, but it wasn't anywhere near as big as the pictures show.

I love the battleship main guns mounted upside down underneath in the last pic (although not in the others)...

I believe that is a real plane. It is Russian. I posted a picture of it in random pics a while back.

Too big to fail

In 1938 Kalinin was executed as a enemy of the state.
Ouch!

Were the pictures rendered as part of a video gaming environment? I'd love to know what software was used to build/render these.

I love the "tail dragger" tail wheel that is about 50 feet off the ground.
Like you'd be doing a 3 point landing with that thing!
