IIRC, it is very well modelled in IL- 2Sturmovic, Forgotten Battles. It is just ‘AI’, not flyable by default.

There’s a thin 95-page hardback published by Beriev (TANTK) – ISBN 5-94141-006-9

http://www.aviapress.com/viewonekit.htm?OTH-173

It’s in Russian – with photo captions in English.

Russian mag Mir Aviatsiya have also covered the MBR-2 in a couple of issues…

….and the Ukrainian mag Aviatsiya i Vremya did a monograph (including excellent scale drawings) in issue 1/2004…

I can’t help with where to get them from though…….

Dug out my monograph on the type. Its in the Ukrainian magazine “Aviation and Time” issue 1/2004.

The publication has loads of photos to illustrate the variants, both military and civil, scale drawings, and some colour profiles.

The magazine surfaces in the UK from time to time and can sometimes be bought on ebay. For anyone interested in Soviet aviation it is a must buy.

What do you need to know? I have a good monograph on the type – but it is in Russian. 😮
