albertrand71 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Mt first post on Britmodeller, but I'm quite proud of this one and it's a bit of a step up for me!A nice fitting kit, with raised panel lines and not exactly bursting with detail, so it's been rescribed, and then I've had a first try with a rivetting tool (the Rivet-R mini, highly recommended!).Thanks for looking, and hope you like! 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That Pe-2 looks great - thanks for posting it for us to see! Also neat to see an aircraft so important to the war effort, but seldom modeled (in the West at least). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Brilliant build! I have one that I just need to finish painting. It is a rather simple little kit, but it goes together well and it is accurate. It does look sharp in the three-colour scheme - you did a good job on the colours! Regards, Jason That Pe-2 looks great - thanks for posting it for us to see! Also neat to see an aircraft so important to the war effort, but seldom modeled (in the West at least). Not that you'd know from Western sources (and manufacturers), but over 11,000 Peshkas were produced. Regards, Jason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Very nice first post of a very interesting WW2 Russian aircraft. Don't see many of those built & very nicely built too! Also another good reason to convert from using a hairy stick. A well sprayed model indeed! Like it a lot! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaCee I can't actually remember - I built this about a year ago and the historical info with the instructions went out with the box at the time... but I'll certainly look into it. I seem to remember that it had a choice of decal and paint options - I just chose the one I thought most appealing at the time - it made a change from plain old VVS green!

Natter Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Lovely kit. Your rescribing and riveting is perfect, you must be a very patient man. Plain old VVS greeen that certainly isnt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertrand71 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Lovely kit. Your rescribing and riveting is perfect, you must be a very patient man. Plain old VVS greeen that certainly isnt. Great job, your extra work was rewarded with a perfect looking Pe ! Well done. Thank you both. I've grown to appreciate the art of the rescribe and love those in the model cabinet that took the extra effort just that little bit more!
