That's interesting! The way those guns are mounted is very unique.

Due to the internal layout, all the guns have different ammunition loads too, whilst the top 20mm has 250 rounds available, the right cannon has only 170, and the left has only 140.

Thanks for bringing this aircraft to my attention.

You're welcome! It's maybe my favourite Soviet fighter of WW2. A very sadly neglected aircraft that really should have entered service.

Yes, I also heard about this aircraft. It was almost completley tested, but on its additional tests its engine stoped, costing the test pilot its life. It also could have been a divery, never the less, this aircraft didn't enter the mass production.

I also have a take on this model, so please check it out, if you like, and I'd be glad to hear your opinion.

BTW - there is an extended version of this model, which include resine parts, engine, weels etc, but I can't find it anywhere, do you know some third party stores which ship abroad? Thanks
