Kor-2 or Be-4...

This is another obscure plane of the second generation of hydroplanes designed by the Soviet industry at the final of thirties. Not impressive at all, was a quantum leap as a replacement of KOR-1 as a naval reconnaissance embarked aircraft. Less than 50 were constructed.

The kit was from a Polish company RPM in 1/72 scale. It is a basic design, but plenty of opportunities for scratch building. Not my case, I was bored when I begun this project, mainly after look the transparent parts of the kit: an absolute ruin. I change the engine by another from my spares. The final result, contrary to my initial expectation, is a not too bad subject and looks great among another soviet planes of that era. 

Ju388L....

This is another failure in the frustrated intent to develop a successor to fantastic but already obsolescent Ju88 at final stages of second word war. With time and adequate resources, Ju388 should be a great machine. 

The kit is the superb Special Hobby kit in 1/72.  Full of details and an attractive model in shelf. The subject here is the very well known machine of reconnaisance variant (type L) found by allied forces in a building among other semi destroyed aircraft in Leipzing in 1945.
This aircraft shown a very heavy weathered aspect after a long operational career.

Many troubles to do this kit because hard fit problems to solve, but a beautiful result.

Su-2...

This is the tipical obscure plane of the soviet orbit, well represented by ICM the well knowed Ukrainian company.
After reading a russian monograph about this plane, get clear to me that Su-2 was an sturdy and very dependable ground attack aircraft, but had the bad luck to be contemporary to the Il-2, the most successful soviet ground attack all over the times. Su-2 looks robust, ugly but with no charme. Not popular subject either among modelers, Su-2 is not a frequent view in contents or even in the web.

This is the 1/72 ICM kit, good enough kit to do a very decent model. My subject was a classic russian green-black camo. I have both models, Su-2 and Il-2, sitting together in the shelf...both have a rude and obsolescent aspect. But Su-2 was put out of service soon after the war and the Il-2 had a long career and its descendants viewed action in Korean war.
Interesting indeed, and a must in every soviet era aircraft collection.
