Yes, its the real thing and the pictures are exact. Probably the best known Soviet cold war bomber and famous for I believe, being the loudest propellor driven aircraft made.

The 'Bear' we are selling is time expired, but complete with usual passports/logs. 

Ebay is good for selling the unusual. We have sold other similar units from 'Mi-24 Hinds' to 'Missile launchers'. But ebay also brings out the worse, but this normal. We dismiss nearly all questions and certainly dont answer any unless name and address is given along with only landline number. We will also look for some kind of proof you are able to proceed financially.

We have a dedicated department dealing with worldwide licence/shipping logistics. We can provide this but have to charge for the many hours of work it will take. Minimum price will be over £2000 + VAT. 

   For interested overseas customers we will need an EUC to comply with usual BIS export controls.

We have listed a very high price for a purpose. We are not expecting of course (although it would be nice) to achieve this, but we are looking for very serious offers. We know what aircraft like is worth, and unless you are a very close friend of Rosonboron in Russia you won't be allowed to have such an aircraft.   

 

In the beginning 1950 The international political situation demanded prompt a more strategic component Soviet Air Force. July 11 1951 issued a decree Council of Ministers № 2396-1137, and the corresponding order of Ministry of Aviation Industry № 654 , according to which the EDO Tupolev instructed to begin designing a new high-speed long-range bomber .

The last thing this guy sold was a Vauxhall Omega! I think I'd be a little wary of buying a "Bear" from him.
