Title: Airfix Petlyakov Pe-2 Post by: Troy Smith on December 20, 2012, 03:44:45 PM This came up in the Airfix Club thread, and there were a couple up on ebay, so I nabbed the pics
Here's the original boxing, a 'red stripe' type. I built mine in the Polish option as I thought it looked great, not influenced by the box are at all ::) (http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/hurricanebuild/Airfix%20Pe-2/AirfixPe-2origboxt_zps0d19df45.jpg) (http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/hurricanebuild/Airfix%20Pe-2/AirfixPe-2origend_zpseb8bc9b9.jpg) (http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/hurricanebuild/Airfix%20Pe-2/AirfixPe-2origkit_zps0b7c9f7e.jpg) Here's a late 70's/early 80's type box, with new art. (http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/hurricanebuild/Airfix%20Pe-2/AirfixPe-280issuebox_zpsefe8743e.jpg) (http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/hurricanebuild/Airfix%20Pe-2/AirfixPe-280issueboxend_zps5afda6cf.jpg) (http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/hurricanebuild/Airfix%20Pe-2/AirfixPe-280issuekit_zps42adb4f3.jpg) When I get chance I'll take some pics of the kit laid out, and if anyone wants, the remains of the one I built in 1975 or so? Are there any good plans available online, eg Airwar.ru, that I can get to compare the kit too? cheers T Title: Re: Airfix Petlyakov Pe-2 Post by: learstang on December 20, 2012, 05:42:10 PM Troy, here's the link to the page on airwar.ru that has the "chertezhi", plans for various bombers, including the Pe-2. You should be able to find something useful. http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw_aw.html

Are you planning to build the Airfix kit? As you probably know, there are better Pe-2 kits out there nowadays!

I'm rebuilding an Airfix Hawker Demon I did 35+ years ago. There are certainly better Hart variant kits available now, but it's good exercise to do (or in my case, redo) an old kit, in my case a reasonably good kit. I do hope you actually build this kit anew, Troy; it'd be nice to see what you could do with it. If you do, at least don't paint it in that wonderful brown/green scheme.

I repaint my old Yak-3 in 1:72 from Kovozavody Prostejov built some 25+ years ago. Just because it had that wonderful brown/green scheme... ;) Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Airfix Petlyakov Pe-2 Post by: learstang on December 20, 2012, 10:17:12 PM Hi Jason, I repaint my old Yak-3 in 1:72 from Kovozavody Prostejov built some 25+ years ago. Just because it had that wonderful brown/green scheme... ;) Regards, 66misos I know what you mean 66misos; I've repainted my old KP La-5FN because it had the brown/green scheme. I'm almost finished with it, and it looks quite smart in the black/green scheme (I actually found a photograph of the La-5FN in the black/green scheme, even though most of them were in the two-grey fighter scheme).
