And when I say copy I mean they captured two B-29s dissasembled them and coppied them..
So much so that the rudder pedels in the TU-4 even said Boeing on them like they did in the B-29
The down side to the SAS TU-4 is that they combined it with a regual B-29, and as most of us know the Silver Plate version of the B-29 was a reduced weight version of the B-29 that removed all the gunner positions cept the rear gunner position, even the blisters on the side were removed, So the SAS combo version is not very accurate wrt being a late war atomic bomber, it would have been easier to use the silverplate and put a different skin on it IMHO
