Funny how that works-I started building Gerrys DC-9 and ended up building Bruno's SB-2

Slightly corrected colors and blown out to 2 page format (it's about 1:72 now).Turns out front glass (one with MGs) and pilots windscreen are too large by about 10-15%,rear gunners turret too large by maybe 5-10%.I did this model as a test in original scale-it was much harder .

Finns used their SB-2s as anti-sub patrol bombers all war and were all scrapped in late 1945 I think.

Imho very attractive bomber and very good design but it got outclassed fast.Survivors ended up serving as mail/cargo carriers for Aeroflot and some served with distinction in Arctic Aviation.
