Hi Folk's back banging on about these cheap and cheerful kits again but for those who love the painting side of thing's they are Ideal.You do have to live with

the limitations and HB's habit of sloppy research and items not supplied in this case no radio pole or glazing for the fuselage gun ports so scratchbuilding will

be needed,and the research comment can be seen with the suggested scheme on the box and the finished scheme,many thanks to @Troy Smith for his usual

pointing in the right direction,maybe not for everyone but I love these kits so thanks for looking in.

Great job!  Historically, was this aircraft flown by a female crew?  I ask, because the slogan on the side seems to suggest affection for a certain "Boris Safronov" and the hearts make it clear it was pretty warm.

As described in the other thread, this was a fairly typical propaganda script for fighter pilot hero of the Soviet Union Boris Safonov.  There was a female regiment flying Pe.2s, but not I think this one.

Beautiful build, I love the design of this plane.

For a quick kit, you certainly do know how to beat the limitations of the design of them.  It looks like a very well designed and thought out main stream kit.  Basically, just a great looking finish to the kit and thanks for sharing.

Pe-2 looks very good, well done!!!

Can I ask you what colors you used for camouflage? It would help me with mine from Zvezda.

Thank you.

Thank you Andres they were mixed from references on the internet so don't count on their accuracy all based on Tamiya paint's the undersides are Light Blue with a 

touch of royal blue,Green based on NATO green Tan based on Dark Earth and the Gray which to be honest is too Light on Dark Gray  all from their bottled range.
