The model is a faithful replica of the real aircraft, used by the Soviet Union in the interwar period and at the beginning of World War II.

History of the Tupolev TB-1P (MTB-1)

The original Tupolev TB-1 was one of the first heavy all-metal bombers, designed at the Andrei Tupolev design bureau. The TB-1P (MTB-1) variant is a special torpedo seaplane version that entered service with the Soviet Navy in the 1930s. Aircraft of this type were highly versatile and were primarily used for maritime patrol flights, as well as bombing and torpedo missions over wide expanses of water, especially in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea.
