TU-95 Bear Diagrams?

[LTCSZ]

I have looked all over the internet for internal diagrams/floor plans/ etc for the Tu-95 "Bear" Russian bomber, but have not been able to find any details about the inside of the aircraft...Some cockpit pictures is about all I have found...Does anyone know of a location for such internal diagrams? Thanks a lot...

The only thing I could find was Warbird Tech Vol. 43: Tupolev Tu-95 Bear by Yefim Gordon and Peter Davison...It appears to be a $17.00 book

This site is a gold mine for externals. I know that won't be much good but take a look anyway:

Here I've taken you to the assault aircraft page. The Tu-95 Bear drawings are of limited use (the only internal is an oblique view and you can just see a floor.) But that's about it.

I use this site almost exclusively when it comes to getting quality three-views for my modelling.

All the best

P.S. By the way, it's in Russian

In the photo galleries of the website of my novel "BEAR: Flight to Liberty" there are several internal views of a TU-95, including a side view of the inside and the different positions of the crewmembers. The website is at:

You might have to wait a little bit for the photos to download.

The novel is about the defection of the crew of a Tupolev TU-95 RTs "Bear D" from Kola Peninsula, USSR, to Canada, on August 4th, 1976. It's available at amazon.com and at barnesandnoble.com.
