maverick_62 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Model represent the Po-2 used as coherent aircraft, belonged to the 1-st "Normandia" Fighter Regiment (from November8, 1944 regiment named "Normandia-Nieman") from 303-th Fighter Avision Division, 1-st Aerial Army ofthe VVS RKKA, Monastyrshina airfiled, september 1944. Plastic from ICM with no fit issues, with Eduard PE set for interior and exterior as additional. It's my first biplan in 1/48 scale and i'm thinking photoetched turnbuckles is a quite usefull additions at least in this scale IMHO. Engine from North Star Models, it's another story. Realy it's a model inside the model. M-11 in 1/48 scale have a fine quality and despite the amount of a small parts (48 parts to be exact) i had not any troubles during the build. It's the best M-11 engine in 1/48 scale to my mind. Decals from Begemot. On the final photo, the original spark plug from M-11 engine near the model. Thanks for looking.

Vinnie Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 What a good looking model. I had to google the aircraft to find out more. It's difficult to believe up to 30,000 of these were built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well and apart from anything else it's a legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I do like that. Beautifully modelled indeed. It is a scheme I'm,d be keen to try a size down. Best I look to see if there are any markings for it out there. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Very nice Po-2 I love the paintwork, and that engine 'on display'. I have the Eduard 1/48 kit somewhere, I must get it out and build it! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
