Really fascinating. The Venera missions are some of my all-time favorites, and I love Don P. Mitchell’s site, it's always a pleasure to revisit such a treasure trove. Don’s section on Soviet Venus imagery is a fantastic resource, It would be amazing to see your take on the subject!
Nick - how did you know? The Venera/Vega probes are my favorite unmanned Soviet space subject! I have a (real) model of one, and an as-yet-unprinted 3D model of another. The real one is being done from photos of the exact same mockup you posted in this article.
