Found this about the B-47B, when it crashed on the Thursday, 13th of March 1958...
B-47B 50-013
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Converted to TB-47B.
*USAF 3520th CCTW, at McConnell AFB, KS.
*13/03/1958: Crashed after wing failure during training mission near Tulsa, OK. 1 killed.
The aircraft was on a normal training mission with the student in the front seat and the instructor pilot was in the back seat. The student was given unusual positions. During the recovery from the second unusual position, a 30 degree right wing low descent, the pilots heard a thump or crack. They then flew two steep turns. Then as the pilot was establishing a 45 degree bank the pilots heard what was described as a thump, rumble, muffled explosion, or a crack. The control column was pushed forward and the student pilot noted flames. He then pushed the alarm bell and ejected. The instructor had not completed the ejection sequence when the aircraft began to tumble and gyrate. He unbuckled his safety belt and dropped free when the aircraft went into inverted flight. Both the pilot and instructor survived but the pilot occupying the navigator's seat did not eject. The investigation revealed that the left wing failed at Butt line 35 due to fatigue cracks that had existed for an undetermined period of time. This was the first in a series of crashes that led to the Milk Bottle Inspection and Repair As Necessary, IRAN, mod program.

What is Milk Bottle Inspection??

Done and done Igor!

That's a rather nice 'Blinder'. Looking at the real thing though, it appears to be painted 'silver', as were many other types in USSR service, rather than overall bare metal.

Yip! Like the style of the Blinder same as that Fiddler, Tu-28 or also Tu-128, that's a huge interceptor!
