It was a giant russian flying destroyer first flown on 01/04/1933
and the brainchild of Anatoly Prill Phool. (initial A.Prill Phool)
if anybody has further informations about this beast, please let me
Know, as I would like to build a model of this monster.

There was some discussion about this image on another forum (might have been Hyperscale, don't remember). Apparently this is from a "what-if" kind of thread and the scale of the plane has been greatly exaggerated. There is an article about the real aircraft in the Soviet X-Planes book by Yefim Gordon and Bill Gunston.

Here's a link to a scratchbuilt 1/144 model:

The reason I ask if it comes from a video game is that the back ground to me looks computer generated.

The pics are computer generated, look at the figures (people).

Jeez I wonder how much horsepower would be required to lift that monster off the ground?

At least a couple of double stuffed burritos I would think.
