Petlyakov Pe-2 and Pe-3  In Profile & Scale  Volume II


Volume № 15 of the Profile & Scale series continues coverage of the Pe-2 and Pe-3 Peshka to an entirely new standard of authenticity. More than 20 pages of new, original and not previously published 1:48 and 1:72 scale line drawings complete the development and full complexity of the family as never before. These line drawings are the culmination of many years of dedicated work and based upon the inspection of all known surviving Pe-2 specimens. Particular credit must go to the staff of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum at Bodø whose assistance was both vital and superior.

Volume II presents many development and variant detail facts about the lesser known Pe-2 and Pe-3 models which have been previously unclear or incorrect. The scale drawings and profiles are complimented by photographs, diagrams and other documentary material to explain the technical and construction details of the remaining series. Five large appendicies address related Pe-2 and Pe-3 matters, such as camouflage, experimental armament, bombs and more. Additional colour profiles are sure to delight even experienced students of the type.

" This new Profile & Scale series is designed for the modeller and hobbyist as a graphical resource for the subject aircraft. The books are divided into two main sections, with the first containing many fully rendered colour profiles, each illustrating a specific historical example in exacting detail. The accompanying explanatory text and photographs help to clarify any points of interest and discussion.

This colour artwork is complimented in the following section by dozens of superb scale line drawings which demonstrate the exact shape and dimensions of the machine to a degree never seen previously. These scale drawings cover all of the main variants and developments of the type, including detail views of important modifications and features.

The Profile & Scale series books are a treasure-trove for hobbyist and historian, alike. Those wishing to complete their own modelling project or artwork with the utmost accuracy and historical fidelity will find no better resource with which to do so. "
