Pe-2/Pe-3.....for VVS.

[Wurger]

All parts look good.

It's an alright, well, nice kit, don't get me wrong. Some parts do need some cleaning more than others. Which I was expecting, short run kit as it is.

 

[Wurger]

True....

 

[Lucky13]

Studying the instructions has me confused already!

 

[Wurger]

What is going on?

 

[Lucky13]

Hang on Wojtek and I'll try to take pic....

In the meantime, I'm tempted to get this one.....208 pages! 8)

 

[Wurger]

It's a very nice series of books.

 

[Lucky13]

Yeah? Well, it seems like a good book.

Anyhoo, just confused if the part A50 is to be glued onto the lower section of the wings and nothing else... Thought first that I'd have to cut a bit and then place A50 in the cut...

 

[Wurger]

According to the shot the A50 bit should be glued to the lower section of the wing. It should be fixed in the way that the rear edge of the part A50 has to be 12 milimeters far off from the front edge of the wing section.

Wow, you're actually getting close to building this! Now cut a piece of the sprue, get some glue.......

 

[Lucky13]

Well, I'm off work next week... So, fingers crossed, touch wood, a few thoughts to the Big Man, that I'll get a nice and quiet week for building and finishing some models...

Cheers Wojtek!

I have a few pictures that might be of help...

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

A couple more that may help.. Basically there was little to no difference between the Pe2 and Pe3.

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

One more...

 

[Lucky13]

Awesome stuff mate! Much obliged!
Is it possible to find out which units flew the Pe-2?

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Let me get back to you on that... I collected this data for the build of a Pe 3 someday.

This website mentions a couple of units using the Pe 2. 588th bomber group I think. I'll keep searching.

Granted this is a wiki but it does give some explanation as to the soviet air armies.

Still researching....

This should help you...

Apparently the Pe-2 was used in most if not all bomber units.
