World's largest aircraft from 1930: Giant Russian K-7 flying fortress

Really cool stuff. Trying to get this figured out here. So this 3D version is 2.5X the size of the prototype? Reading over it sounds like the 2.5X version was planned, never produced, but the K-7 was flown...OK.

This immediately made me think of Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind. Very cool.

I think a little Photoshop was involved. The large naval size guns in some of the photos would have torn the aircraft apart if fired. Check it out on snopes.com.
