An injected Su-2 in 1/48? Raise your hand if you thought you would ever see one!

Thank you for the information, Musa!  Do you mean the diesel engines on the TB-7 (Pe-8)?

Most likely early with another nose.

Hi Musa! Do you know if there are any photos of test samples of the 1/72 Yak-3 yet? I really want to see (and buy!) this kit!

How it became known Yak-3 "Zvesda" will be a series easy-kit assembled without glue.  
In spite of this, the developers promise a high quality development.

Thank you for the information, Musa! I'm really looking forward to this kit, hoping that it will be accurate even if it is simplified. I hope it will be better than the Hobby Boss 1/72 Yak-3!

Best regards;

Here's a really excellent description of the research that went into the new Authentic Decals sheet for the Yak-3, written by the designer, Alexander Pavlygin:
