Hello!

The model was purchased a few years ago.
Pe-2, projected by Vladimir Petlyakov (in jail) as a heavy fighter, then changed into diver, perhaps mostly used as horizontal bomber.
Quite modern (for Soviet conditions), and useful construction - over 11 000 produced (!).

Model:
Pe-2 FT, airplane of the Baltic Fleet 12th Guards regiment commander Lt. Col. Vasilly Rakov, 1944/45.
Painted freehand, open nacelle bomb bays added.

Looks great! I have an Italieri to build myself, but I seriously doubt I'll be able to pull off this level of quality. You have done a really incredible job.

"You won't know, if you won't try" - Italeri kit seems quite plausible.
Pe-2 model, because untypical, could be an interesting item on WW2 shelf.

Thanks for nice comments, overall I like my model too, but: why while making a "maximum opened" model I didn't open the dive brakes?.
Sh-t!, I must make another one....
