Roman Schilhart Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi everybody. This is UM Models 1/72 Petlyakov Pe-2. I upgraded with Kora Resin sets (Interior/Exterior/Engines/Undercarriage), Zlinek Photo Etch set, MiniWorld metal guns and Eduard masks. Painted with Harder & Steínbeck Evolution airbrush using Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics. Thanks to Andreas Bdinka (IPMS Austria) for his help in obtaining the Kora sets. Thanks to fellow Britmodeller users Fuad and Learstang for valuable advice regarding VVS colours (hope I got them right this time). This is the kit box. Striking artwork, but it's a pity that this colorful livery is not included in the kit's painting options. Here's the aftermarket sets I used for this build: The Mini World metal guns are especially nice items: The interior, prior to assembly (lucky those ejector marks are invisible on the finished model, it would have been a chore to eliminate them all): And here is the finished model. Thanks for looking! Cheers from Vienna, Austria Roman Schilhart 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclure Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Really nicely done and I like that a lot. That gun is an attractive piece isn't it? Cheers, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 That's a nice looking aeroplane brilliantly modelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Glad to be of help on the colours, Roman, and the finished model looks lovely! The colours look rather spot on to me. I've always thought that the Peshka is a very attractive aeroplane. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiton Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 It wasn't easy to do so good model using this kit. Good Job ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Not really that different from the Aifix kit then............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Not really that different from the Aifix kit then............ Different (in a positive sense) when it comes to detail and general shape. UM Models Pe-2 is not a bad kit, just one that needs a little more work. A shame that most mainstream manufacturers do not cover many VVS subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 What a fantastic finish.....Simply outstandingl! I've got this kit in the stash, but TBH.....I'm scared to death of it! I bought an Italeri version too so that I have at least one Pe-2 that I can actually build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
