Posted June 3, 20204 yr Hi all, It's a Soviet light bomber used in WW2. You will see the building technique similar to that applied in my last model, Bf109E. Enjoy! Features: - 2 x 23mm cannons on wings - 2 x 7.62mm MG on wings - 1 x 12.7mm Berezin defensive MG (can be aimed freely) - 6 x 100kg bombs (4 carried inside the wings, 2 mounted below) - 8 x 82mm anti-tank rockets (laser shooter bricks) - Cockpit accepts 2 minifigs - Throttle lever tilts back and forth - Landing gear retracts completely into the wings (VERY sturdy as well!) - Navigation lamps. (red, green, white) It's an homage to the tradition of Lego's airport sets that always had navigation lamps on the commercial airliners. - Engine may be separated for repair - Intake and exhaust slits for the radiator and oil cooler - National insignia is made out of bricks; no stickers used. Designed to be visible from all sides. - All white winter camouflage - Retractable skis for landing/takeoff on deep snow (optional) I have posted a video on YouTube so that you can see the moving parts: Edited June 3, 20204 yr by Brickopath
June 6, 20204 yr That's a fantastic model - great shaping and details! (I didn't know Soviet pilots were ever allowed to smile, though!)
February 20, 20214 yr Nice plane, very detailed! Not everyone remembers that the Soviet Union also had a military aviation during WW2, and that it churned out iconic aircraft like this one, it is a pleasant surprise to see such a model, as almost all follow the maninstream of American, German, British and Japanese aircraft, forgetting the Soviet Union and Italy.
