You know, it kind of looks almost like a B-17 with inlines, and a greenhouse
And a gunners position behind the inner engines?! I never new that. Must have been a miserable place to be- "I SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN A MISERABLE PLACE TO BE"
Nice. Zvezda kit these in 1/72. Looks like a good kit. (http://www.olddogsplanes.com/pe8.html)

I wonder what the bail out procedure was from that position?
Airliner based in Pe-8 along with its ancestor (Ant-42)
BTW: Why not a passenger in the 'miserable place'? Maybe half price ;D

...
The caption reads, more or less: Pe-8 flying laboratory for testing the engine ASh-82FN.
Did it have one pilot or two?
