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…

Alternate…British or American Pe-2 with Merlins or Allisons?

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.

A gunship/straffer - think A-20 or A-26

HiPM, there's two boxings, Model 44 (series 205-359) and (series 1-105)  [whatever those mean]

Sanger

How about some sea camo and a fish or two underneath?  Bombs would work too  8)
