Petlyakov-Myasishchev PeM-2 Troika.
The Petlyakov Pe-2 had been developed from the PB-100 fighter prototype very rapidly under extreme pressure from the Soviet high command. That the resulting aircraft had proved a good tactical bomber is surprising under those circumstances. Once the Pe-2 got into production as 1940 turned to 1941, the design team began work on successive developments. The Pe-3 was the long-range heavy fighter version of the design, and there were also reconnaissance and other specialized versions. The most radical development however came when the Petlyakov team received the order to develop a medium bomber development, using a maximum number of Pe-2 components. Work began in December 1941, but the team design bureau leader, Vladimir Mikhailovich Petlyakov died in the crash of a Pe-2 only a month later. His chief lieutenant, Vladimir Mikhailovich Myasishchev took over development of the new medium bomber (along with continued oversight of the Pe-2 program).
The medium bomber was initially known internally as DSB, from Dal'niy sredniy bombardirovshchik (long-range medium bomber), but by the time the prototype flew in June, 1942 it had officially been designated the PeM-2 (honoring Petlyakov and Myasishchev). It also received the inevitable appellation, Troika, after the three-horse-drawn sledge or carriage of that name which was well-known in the Soviet Union.
Compared to the Pe-2, the PeM-2 used the same basic fuselage and wing structure, but employed a third, central engine, which required greater vertical stabilizer area, and so a third, central fin was also installed. The nose engine installation required the deletion of the nose bomb-aiming station which was relocated into a ventral tub behind the bomb bay. In order to achieve maximum range and payload, the wings were extended by adding wooden wingtips giving 2.8 feet of additional span per side (for a total of 5.6 feet additional span). Defensive armament was also decreased dramatically to maximize payload and range; the sole remaining defensive weapon being the dorsal turret mounted Berezin UB. This feature was roundly disliked by crews, and contributed to a high loss rate for the type in combat.
Production of the PeM-2 was cut short as lend-lease supplies of B-25 Mitchells proved to be better at the mission the Troika was designed for. Factories formerly intended to PeM-2 production were shifted to Pe-2 or La-5 production after only 223 PeM-2 Troikas were complete.
This began as the 1/72 scale HobbyBoss Easy Assembly Petlyakov Pe-2. The third engine came from a second Pe-2 kit. The wingtips are scatchbuilt, and the ventral tub is the pilot’s canopy from the Williams Brothers B-10. Decals are a mix of HobbyBoss Pe-2 kit decals and spares drawer.

JS-22 FIRE SUPPORT TANK
[State anthem plays...]
Comrades, Russians, Workers of the world!
Today we present for you a new tank to defend the motherland and strike fear in the hearts of our enemies.
Everyone knows the KV-2 was a good idea but too far ahead of its time and constrained by the technology of the time. To honor its predecessor, the new tank was named after the KV-2 (JS-2 was already taken, hence it was cleverly called the JS-22).
When we saw the Yankee M-103 with its big turret, we said "Feh!" Ours will be bigger and better. It was also rumoured the new British Chieftain tank has built in tea brewing capability. So, we provided our crew with their own onboard vodka still!
Some may question the accuracy of a short barreled 152mm weapon. However, accuracy is a counter-revolutionary idea perpetrated by cowardly capitalists with no stomach for close quarters battle. All our soldiers need is proletariat fervor, the aforementioned vodka and the ghostly hand of Stalin to rise from the grave and guide our shells to target.
FORWARD! FOR THE MOTHERLAND!

The Gimyarovsckaya Design Bureau is pleased to present to the Committee of State Sanctioned Modelling, Alternative History and Tractor Carburettor Production this most capable advanced fighter candidate aircraft for the Motherland Fighter Defense Squadrons (Родные истребительные эскадрильи) requirement: the Gim-12 Nazad Fighter!
The Gimyarovsckaya brothers, Georgi and Grennady are confident that the Committee of State Sanctioned Modelling, Alternative History and Tractor Carburettor Production will quickly see the unquestionable air superiority the Gim-12 will bring to the Rodina!
These capabilities include:
- With the backwards wings, the air forces of the corrupt capitalist war mongers will think we flying away from them when in fact we getting closer and will soon kill them with our superior missiles
- The pitot tube is twice as long as other air craft. This means the accuracy of the pitot tube data is 2 times better than one 1/2 as long
- Our Bort number is two times larger than similar fighters. This will frighten the cowardly western so-call aces!
- The narrow landing gear means smaller a ramp space in needed. This will save the Motherland billions of Rubles in constructions costs.

Gimyarovsckaya Design Bureau awaits the Committee's visit so we can over ice cold Stolichnaya discuss how we can build 1,000s of these superb fighters.

Let's suppose that when Poland was gaining Mi-24 from the Soviets before the end of the Soviet Union's ,comrades were so drunk that mistaked prototype of Ka-50 with Mi-24 and together with Hinds they passed it to Poland :D As a result, together with Mi-24 it was used in Iraq in 2004. Because it was often mistaked with Russian helicopters , for better identification it has white and red eagle painted on the front of the hull, and a big sign "To the battle!" on the bottom. It was enough...
