russ c Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi Everyone, Managed to finish my attempt at making a Pe-2 that took part in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the last months of WW2 during operation August Storm Built from Zvezda`s 1/48 kit Pretty much out of the box, with just some dodgy seat belts and aerial wires added Had to replace a few smaller details like the boarding ladder with some made from wire as I broke a few bits cutting them off the sprues Decals were some from the kit and the red and white `19` was made from some red 19`s with some white decal strip from the stash Finished to try and represent an aircraft of the `Pacific Fleet` based at Nikolayevka AB, 1945 I confess to getting bored with this one half way through and if I did one again I`d leave a lot of the details you can`t see out to speed things along. Anyway, hope you enjoy, thanks for looking and a Happy New Year Cheers Russ 74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
