Yes I think make a Uruguay Falcon or a Bolivian CW-19 in near future.

Well friends, despite the Falcon being a little seen model built, the original intention was not to talk about a little seen model built. This is the Tupolev ANT-40, also known as the SB-2 "Katyushka", a Soviet tactical bomber from the 1930s, which was very advanced for its time of introduction.

















The construction is in triple dose. Two SB-2s (one M-100A and one Bis) in Chinese colors, Bruno's original and Rata's repaint and a third SB-2, which I had Gerry1966 repaint especially for me in Soviet Air Force colors during the Nomonhan incident.

Construction is still at an early stage, the models will have some reinforcements to optimize the adhesion of some parts, such as the rudder shown at the rear end of the fuselage.

SB-2s are always welcome!

Thank you my friend!

For me it's always a joy to build repaints or models designed by my friends! I hope I don't disappoint with the SB-2, I'm impressed with how small it is for the role it performs. I had forgotten about that. When I was young, in the 80's I build the SB-2 from Frog (Novo) in 1/72 plastic, the model must exist in some box at my mother's house.

I think I have that kit somewhere, too. I think a few more years and my 7 year old boy will be destroying some nice plastic models.

Nice trio. I am glad to see the Chinese version.

Looks good. After the various version releases of this type recently, the aircraft seems to be getting the attention it deserves. I think it looks best in the all metal Soviet or ROC scheme.
