Flankerman Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Excellent build Roman - and a great finish. How big is it ? - here is mine next to a Lancaster..... ... and the Zvezda (rear) and Amodel Pe-8s together.... Nice to see some Soviet heavy bombers being built.

Thud4444 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Whoa in close up it looks even better. I don't know Mikemx, for some reason the Pe 8 just looks much larger than a Fort. 2 hours ago, Mikemx said: In fact it's only slightly longer than a B-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A B-17 is roughly 74ft by 103ft off the top of my head and the Pe-8 is 76ft by 129ft, so like I said, it's really the wingspan that's much bigger. Put it next to a B-29 or Ju290 and it won't look as big. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm not disagreeing. Something about the proportions makes it look larger than it probably is. No more, no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VG 33 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 This is fantastic. Have you eaten a horse? I have already built this one andI remember an easy but long kit to do. Congratulations. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few were left behind during 'Operation Paravan' (attack on Tirpitz) - the best two were recovered and operated by the Soviets. My model build - and more on the story - is here :- http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Modeling/Avro/Lancaster/Airfix/FullBuild/Duffy/index.php Sorry to hijack your thread Roman....

Hobo Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Impressive! Stunning! Wow! Might be the best looking Pe-8 I've ever seen. I absolutely love this aircraft. Was the camo airbrushed free hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh G Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 That's awesome; one of my favourite planes, especially love the rear engine nacelle gun positions. Being a 1/48 man I wish it could be kitted in 1/48, even if it would take up a whole room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love this aircraft. Was the camo airbrushed free hand? Hello and thank you for your interest! The camo demarcation lines were laid out with Uhu-Tac (aka Blu-Tac) sausages, starting with the lightest color. This allows better control of the shape, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Roman, how did I ever miss this one??? I usually keep updated on all of your beautiful works of art and I`m glad that I finally caught up to this one. Your usual and signature high standards are evident. I hope the Zvezda Pe-8 I have turns out a fraction as nice as the one you have shared with us here. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
