New year special! Hope 2026 will be a great year for you all!

Wiki

The Petlyakov Pe-8 was a Soviet heavy bomber designed before World War II, and the only four-engine bomber the USSR built during the war. Produced in limited numbers, it was used to bomb Berlin in August 1941. It was also used for so-called "morale raids" designed to raise the spirit of the Soviet people by exposing Axis vulnerabilities. Its primary mission, however, was to attack German airfields, rail yards and other rear-area facilities at night, although one was used to fly the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov from Moscow to the United States in 1942.

    @planespottdedplensare886 yeah, spent a bit too long working on this. Some of the cockpit interior is "borrowed" from my other builds, so it didn't take as long as I though it would.

    @Hooha12 Zamn.
    I'm going to upvote this, but I'll rate it on Deadline later, to be fairer. By the way, my upvote on this build is an exception from the reward. Ok?
