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.
