Zvezda Su-2 1/48 Review

Kinda think it looks more like the Dauntless short of the turret. The BT-1 started development about the same time but you have to wonder if Douglas was even aware that this aircraft existed. They look very similar but how many ways can you design a dive bomber?

Great review as always Gary :drinks

Very similar to a Dauntless, thanks for the review Gary, I'm still toying with acquiring this kit someday!
 
Not a plane that has a lot of appeal to me, but as a kit I am intrigued. Funny about that, isn't it? The general fit looks pretty darned good. That Vector engine looks to be a step up from the IAR engine what with those push rod bases. Another great review, Gary- thanks!

Ahh well, when you get old the mind is the first thing that goes, I guess I need to do a history check in the future.
 
Excellent review of an obscure Soviet aircraft; of course, all of the Soviet aircraft are new to me as I've just returned to modelling after a nearly 50 year hiatus . . . :eek:ldguy
 
Nice review Gary .... Thanks for your time ..... looks like a great kit ..... I do tink it looks like a avenger .... :eek:ldguy .... nice wing details ..... :eek:ldguy
 
It goes together well but doesn't hold up well to heat from external sources
