Hi Misos,
yes, there is this one but it's too vague.
This Tu-2T is the only one I know to fit well the factory drawing. Other photos seem to show an anomalous extension of light areas over the wings.

which nicely fits (one of) NKAP scheme from 1943 for two-engines bombers:

Hi Massimo,
thank you for kind words. Smiley
I still corrected & added some details on Top view, plus I added two bottom views - standard and torpedo version - see my posts above.
So, this serie is finished now.

Hi Misos, you're welcome as usual. You did a good work. It would be interesting to develop it for the site some day.

In the meantime another nice picture showing upper black-green surfaces - my profile fits it quite well:

Excellent work on the profiles, 66misos! Just to let everyone know, 66misos had done these beautiful profiles for a book I'm finishing up on the Tu-2 for the same publisher who printed my Il-2 book, Fonthill Media. The Tu-2 book should be available some time next year (2016). And don't forget my Il-2 book, available at fine stores everywhere (okay, that was a shameless plug).

Best Regards,

Jason

Hi,
I don't know if it's representative, but I see that this machine has trim tabs on both the ruddes, not protruding.

Hi Misos/Jason,
Pe-2 and Tu-2 had very different purpose and origin, so the difference in size isn't surprising:

Pe-2 was developed from a twin engine high altitude fighter prototype, it was roughly the size of Me-110.  Pe-2 was a "front bomber" meaning short range and modest bomb load; in western air forces such a plane would be classified as a light bomber.

Tu-2 was a multi-purpose medium bomber.  It was similar size as Junkers Ju-88.

IMHO, for more effective size comparison Tu-2 and Pe-2 profiles should be drawn horizontal, "in flight" with their longitudinal axis aligned.  In plan view you should definitively align fuselage axis of both planes too.

It would be interesting to see size comparison of Tu-2 and Ju-88...

Regards,
KL

Hi,
here is updated picture of the after-the-war VVS Tu-2:


Photos and info from scalemodels.ru and discussed also at modelforum.cz show that it is originally "32 Moskva":


repainted overall green on topside and ended in Kharkov military school in mid fifties:
