Title: Beriev Be-2 Post by: Ioaea on October 19, 2005, 03:37:31 AM Hi
Having a mass purchase of 1/72nd VVS aircraft currently, or more accurately any soviet aircraft from 1918 to 1945 by any manufacturer. I found an MPM KOR-1 knocking about cheaply, and my questions are these : Is the KOR-1 to all intents and purposes a Be-2? If so, I'd like to model this kit on the example here - http://www.aviation.ru/Be/Be-2.jpg What paint colour is represented on the glossy upper surfaces here? Presumably a modern paint scheme, but I'm not sure. Any advice welcomed. Incidentally, Beriev's website lists the KOR-1 as 'in service untill 1942 under mark Be-6' : [edited to add -on the site's 'photos' tab] http://www.beriev.com/eng/core_e.html Curious or what?

my documents on this type are extremely poor, I would say unexistant. I found only a good photo on Red Star of Geust etc., and an indication on an old writing of Pilawskii that gives silver or light grey AE-9 (FS(2)5630) for naval planes in the early stage of war. I had a look to the site of Beriev, I see that in one page they correctly called Kor-1 as Be-2. Probably they made a banal error in some other page. I hope that this helps Massimo Title: Re: Beriev Be-2 Post by: Ioaea on October 21, 2005, 05:14:37 AM Thank you, sir. Most helpful.
Yes indeed, the website lists KOR-1 as being both Be-2 and Be-6 on seperate pages. Looking around for a model KOR-2 if one exists. Doubtful, presumably. Thanks again.

It was rather rare bird in both versions.
