Look at those panel trenches! Let's hope this is just a concept model... Title: Re: New SB model kit in the works Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 19, 2014, 09:13:50 PM Hi,
it's a 3D drawing with enhanced lines, there is no relation with the way they will make lines. this firm is continuing the theme of Soviet twin-engined bombers with coherence. I suppose that Pe-2 will be the next one. Regards Massimo Title: Re: New SB model kit in the works Post by: TISO on June 19, 2014, 11:06:52 PM It seems that a series in in the Works:

Let's hope the plastic versions are as well-detailed.

Regards, Jason Shouldn't that be don't do 1/48th ....yet ;) i have a MPM Sb-2 kit, which is apparently challenging, so one of these would be welcome. Just posted up Mikro-Mir are doing the La-9 and la-11 in 1/48th..... though I'm still puzzled as why their is not a state of the art Yak-9... must be waiting for me to have a crack at the pile of ICM and LTD ones I have stashed.... So, how long before we get a Yer-2 and Pe-8 in 1/48th.... Title: Re: New SB model kit in the works Post by: learstang on June 20, 2014, 05:37:42 PM Possibly, Troy! If I ever get around to doing my 1/48th scale Il-2's, it seems that they would need some company. I am tempted by Xuntong's Tu-2.

Of all the Russian WWII twins, the SB is my favourite. Might not be the prettiest but she's got personality. Hopefully I will get started on my IL-2s before any of these are released. Might get distracted otherwise. Cheers, Robert |
