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.

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

    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!

    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.
