Question for anyone with "IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles" & Ace expan. pack (And possible request)

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

Woo! Just barely got that title in. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who had this game could offer me a bit of help.

My question is this- is the “Zveno SPB” composite (a Tupolev TB-3 with two Polikarpov I-16s mounted under the wings) shown in the game, either as a flyable aircraft, or an AI?

If not, read no further. But, if it is, read on.

I’m gathering research right now for a future conversion I would really love to attempt. I would like to model this (the Zveno SPB), and there is an ICM kit of it, but there’s one issue.

The TB-3 offered in the kit is an earlier version-

However, the version used for SPB was a later one-

Unfortunately pics of this version are very scarce. So, if the right version is shown in the game, I was wondering if you could post some screenshots of it. Any shots at all will be appreciated, but any focused on the engines or turrets (nose and tail) would be awesome. Thanks for anyone who can help!

maybe someone at http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/index2.php can help you.
There are some real experts on soviet aircraft over there!

Well I can’t help you in your request, but I can suggest you get the Pacific fighters and merge it with the FB+AEP
Then you’ll be to busy playing to worry about it.

That game will suck the life out of you.
It will stop you from doing things in the RW and cost you half your stuff as your wife divorces you.
But you wont care as long as you can fly.
