"It's only a model..." (this photo, anyway)

The Chinese used their re-engined Tu-4's well into the seventies, perhaps
beyond. This AEW aircraft was reportedly named KJ-1, and was tested between
1967 and 1971. It was apparently found wanting, and the project was
terminated. The aircraft is on display with another modified Tu-4 at the
China Aviation Museum (Datangshan) outside Beijing.
