I will begin with a question:  can anyone advise me of a 1/48 Pe-2K (i.e. the variant with radial engines as per below) kit?  I have seen one in the past but for the life of me can't remember who did it…

I have the old Airfix PE-2 and started to make a postwar turboprop version (with inline landing gear and outriggers). I stalled at converting the engines and props, though.
