Question Tu-114 with jet engines?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

recently have I stumbled upon mentions of a planned jet-powered variant of the Tu-114 turboprop airliner, for example on the English Wikipedia page. This plane seems to have been on the drawing boards for a rather short time only, as the Ilyushin 62 was apparently conceived at the same time the Tu-114 turboprop variant just entered Aeroflot service. I only gathered that they planned to use 6 Kuznetsov NK-8 engines, but nothing else.

Seeing that some of You have a real doomsdays vault of obscure aircraft pictures, is there something out there like a three-view or just some further information?

Thank You in advance!
