  1. Speechless really, Жуков!
    What amazing craftsmanship!

  2. Amazing work!

    Now where was that Zvezda kit (more my speed). 🙂

  3. Another great model showcasing your modelling skills. By the way, it’s a good idea not to post too many articles together, you tend to push other members posts off the front page.

  4. I'm sorry, I didn't think about it, I'll take it into account. Especially since I don't have any more models yet)) Thank you very much for the advice and feedback!

  5. Thank you friends for the feedback! I am glad that you like my work). At the moment I'm making a Su-15 on the 32nd scale, someday I'll show it.

  6. Жуков:

    Your work is simp[y magnificent! Thanks for sharing this superb Petlyakov Pe-2 with us...there are only superlatives to describe it.

  7. Beyond my abilities. Amazing work!

  8. Fabulous work Ivan!

  9. You have a shelf of excellent builds, Жуков @kapzhuk
    This Pe2 is another example of your great skills.
    Excellent work on the aluminum.

  10. Another beauty! Keep them coming...

  11. More amazing work! Real talent.

  12. ALL three of your builds are some of the most amazing examples of model building I have ever seen. Well done!

  13. This is awesome! The riveting on the wings is outstanding. I don't think I've ever seen a bare aluminum Pe-2 and camouflage hides how pretty the Pe-2 actually is! I'm glad you chose to display it this way.

  14. Thank you, dear colleagues in creativity, for your ratings! The fact is that initially this technology was used to accurately simulate the skin for painting, but in the process, many advised not to paint, and as a result, all three models were sold with the requirements of buyers to leave the model in metal. However, I will paint metal someday, I have not yet seen how paint looks on metal.

  15. amazing and humbling!
