Tu-4 is a bolt-for-bolt copy... it may be a little bit longer because of conversion to metric though.
They even used the same paint color on the bulkheads that they found on the B-29s that they used as a source. Funny anecdote is that most of the B-29s that ended up there were from a batch that for some reason had a different paint color on the inside than the normal production ones.
The chinese still use them for AWACS... with An-12 engines replacing the old radials and a big radome on top
Ok now for the bombers...
There is a Tu-95 from Vladimir Zuhlysky and a Myaschinev 3M that just came out. Both on avsim.com
