My favourite part of the bigger Russian/Soviet planes is the glazed nose, just something about it.

OK, back to the Cleat. Head and tail of the plane so far.

Nose and empennage look just like a Tu-104. Anyone one know about the commonality between the two a/c?

Other than being airliners designed by Tupolev and both being derived from existing bombers, I couldn't find anything.
Imagine if the US did the same thing with bombers after the 50's. An airliner derived from the B-47, or B-52? |

Both the Tu-16 and Tu-95 entered service at roughly the same time, one powered by turboprops, the other by turbojets. Would make sense for both aircraft to share a common design base. Uncommonly enough, both were successful and put into production. |

The Cleat is coming together with wings and wing fillets installed.
