Tupolev Tu-2 "Bat" of North-Korean Air Force
« on: March 24, 2015, 09:21:20 AM »
Hi everybody,  :-salut

Here is the very old VEB kit from East Germany in the 1970s. Very basic kit with no interior details at all but outlines are good anough and it's the only kit that offers the four-bladed airscrews of post-WW2 production...

A great one, Jicehem! I have a modeling magazine from the 1970s with a review of this kit, the first time I was exposed to this attractive machine.

There is (or was, at least) a museum in the western U.S. that imported several Tu-2s from China with the intention of making one airworthy. One was fully assembled but no attempt was made to make it airworthy as far as I know.
