Re: Bits 'n pieces.

It is the 1:48 kit from 'historic plastic models' or 'HiPM' for short. There should be a later variant Pe-2 (with the little gun turret) available from Italeri. This one is quite crude on details but it comes with some nice PE set. The quality of the plastic is also good so, the filler won't damage it too much. Wich is fortunate because a lot of filler is needed here. The fitting of the dashboard above the instrument panel was a complete mystery to me. I stared at the manual and dry-fitted it endlessly but in the end, I made a new dashboard with some plastic card and a piece of stretched sprue for the rounded front end. Picture of that should still be on the forum somewhere.

In short, the aircraft is beautifull and a more advanced builder can make a nice looking Pe-2 with it. But prepare for some major/mayor filling and minor scratchbuilding.
