Purchased for a bargain price off of EBay in 2005. The previous owner had
actually attempted to start building this model starting with the engine
nacelles. Luckily a careful check seems to show that all the parts are
included. This includes a set of resin parts and photoetch pieces. There are
almost no aftermarket accessories apart from:
Owl Etched Aerials
Eagle Strike Decals
Engines & Things ENG48040 Klimov M-103
Kit Photos
The kit instructions and kit Decals.
This is not the original bagging. I did
not open these for the photo's. This photo shows fuselage, wing center
and resin parts in yellow.
The same bag from the other side.
The other bag of sprues featuring all
the other parts.
The second bag of sprues pictured from
the other side.
Aftermarket Extras
None found.
Decals
The Eagle Strike decals set 48038
"Petlyakov Pe-2's Pt. I". Oddly enough it suggests an "Airfix -
Italeri Pe-2". This may have existed in 1/72nd but not 1/48th.
This suggest that Eagle Strike scaled
this up from a 1/72nd scale version. The set includes a Finnish
example.
There are also five Russian machines
shown. Two have very interesting Winter camouflage.
