Report item10 5/8 in. wing span (1:144th scale) Petlyakov Pe-8 metal Diecast airplane w/stand, Soviet Air Army (VVS), 81 DBAD (Long Range Bomber Division), August 1941, during World War II, MIB (Mint In Blistercard). The Petlyakov Pe-8, also known as TB-7, was the only four-engined bomber the USSR built during the war. . From a technical standpoint, the Pe-8 is remarkable because it had defensive machine-gun positions installed in the rear of the inboard engine nacelles. A few Pe-8 attacks on Germany were flown, the first in early August, 1941 (only weeks after the German attack on the USSR had started), when aircraft of the 81 DBAD (Long Range Bomber Division) bombed Berlin. Most Pe-8 attacks on Berlin were 'nuisance' bombings involving only a handful of aircraft The Pe-8's most important claim to fame is flying Soviet foreign minister Molotov and his delegation from Moscow to London and Washington DC and back for talks on the opening of a second front against Nazi Germany (May 19th-Jun 13th, 1942), on the return trip crossing German-controlled airspace without incident. Altaya, of France, have recaptured this immortal plane even down to the official markings. A really nice and unique military transport model.The landing gear is installed to display the model "on the ground" or to be displayed "in flight", with the landing gear extended, on the handsome plastic display stand that is included. The plastic propellers turn freely over metal shafts and the wheels do not turn on this die-cast aircraft. The model has a low metal content, only the top fuselage component is made of metal. This is not a toy; it is a wonderful Collector's model. Priority Mail shipping, including Delivery Confirmation and insurance, within the US is $7.90. Will quote for international bidders.
