Vadim Shavrov's versatile utility amphibian is nicely modeled, has a VC and several paint schemes. My thanks to Mr. Goncharov and Mr. Belov for creating this wonderful and historic Russian aircraft.

First the Sikorsky S-40 amphib now this one. Must be seaplane season already

I've never heard of an Sh-2, so I did some research and found this:
http://www.aviastar.org/air/russia/shavrov-2.php
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavrov_Sh-2

Looks pretty neat, almost like a Chris Craft or Gar Wood with wings. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you very much Hurricane91 for pointing this one out :ernae:
Edit: just got done with a quick hop around the patch. I like it. Needs a bit more oomph but it's liveable. Not the best plane to take out on epic long distance flights however what with the minimalist navigation equipment (it's got a compass. Not a directional gyro, a wet compass. THAT'S IT), but if you actually know where your favorite fishing hole is you really cannot beat this one.

All kidding aside, if I had any serious gripe about this plane it would be the prop texture; I will have to replace it. Otherwise it's definitely a keeper:ernae:

Thanks for the HU. Enjoy all seven paint jobs. Flys well enough, and is just right for 1920s and 1930s kind of flights. Again, thanks.

Here's a better prop blur texture ...

Not trying to one up you Mike, I didn't like the prop spin first thing and went about making one before you posted yours. Since the default was DXT1, I didn't know if the model would take an 888-8 32-bit texture. Not to worry, tried and tested, passed, so if any would like to try mine, have a go.

Great little slow amphib, thanks for the HU hurricane.

No problem Caz, this place is all about people brainstorming and making things better, here are a few shots ....

Did some water ops earlier, these are from land flying at Novosibirsk ...

And I like BE-2 sounds by Gary Jones for this aircraft, maybe not a perfect match , but I like it :
