Tupolev SB-2 - part 2 - completed models

I have now taken delivery of the two completed SB-2 models, and very nice they are too!  Wg Cdr Luddite has done a splendid job with these.  I have not yet plucked up the courage to dig out my earlier scratch-bodged example to compare and contrast....
Oh, and I meant to mention this on my earlier post - the photos of the under construction and completed models were all taken by Wg Cdr Luddite.

Thanks - I'm sure the Wg Cdr will read this himself.

It's just I know what a bear assembling metal aircraft models
is! He deserves allot of credit!

Stop praising him or he'll want to charge me more!

Perfection. Top effort and a great boost to your Red forces.

Pat on the back for the Wingco!

Thanks - if nothing else they'll provide bigger targets for the Luftwaffe!

Hey they are spectacular, pity they are Me 109 and Fw 190 bait ;)

Great Job

I don't think there were many left by the time FW190s appeared, but you can imagine how advanced they were in the late '30s.

Thanks for the nice comments. Next on the workbench for Tim is a Hs123.

If anyone is interested I now have piccies of my models on Picasa Web Albums.
