Cheranovsky (Cheranovskii) Aircraft and Designs

A new one for me... a tank-carrier called the BiCH-004 by Fairchild's inhouse magazine back in 1951.
Was that a genuine Cheranovsky project? (or even a genuine Soviet project for that matter?)
Taken by this big trimotor, and having found nothing more on the net although I am convinced that some definition plots had to be developed, I have taken up this view from above which I offer you very modestly despite many misinterpretations ...

Forgive me for inflicting on the honourable members of this forum the fruit of my speculations on a subject of the most hypothetical and of a most subaltern interest, but I have just realized with horror that my view from above is unable to charge a T-34-85 ! So I revised my position by drawing the contour of the profile of the central nacelle around this tank and here is the result ... How a nice perspective drawing is never very accurate and how some advertisements can be misleading ...

Thank you all for your likes! I allow myself a last intervention on this aerial tank carrier by proposing the profile view that I have deduced. After many debates with myself on the relevance of the total length of 70' given in text, after my interpretation of a central nacelle capable of the T-34-85 I deduced this representation. One or two meters close because I chose arbitrarily with nose and wet finger a length of 95' which in my opinion fits better with the proportions of the drawing than the 70' indicated, especially if you want a correct longitudinal stability! Indeed, the basic data indicate a span of SE 2010 Armagnac (and the wing surface is comparable!) for a length of Lancaster ...
PS : For personal reasons (centering among others) I positioned the wing at 25% of the chord of the nacelle and the root rib of the exterior wing panels ... The profile is from my imagination inspired by the 22% thickness of that of the B-29/Tu-4 ...
