After the Blenheim, I had to gave some attention to the SB-2, one of the most neglected plane in this sim - beyond the old AAA cockpit and Archies' S-71 version. So here's a Talvisota Version of the SB2M103 and the SB2M100A, with historical skis (retractable on the 103, fixed on the 100A) appearing when your are on a winter map, and a wide array of armament, only part of what these planes could carry. I used them as a test bed for the new Finnish bombs and the new Russian bombs - Most of these new Russian bombs are creation of Lindr who very kindly authorized me to import them to Il2 (not a litlle work
every 3d model needed smoothing, Lods, shadow, export and java, but tehy are worth it
) - I have imported presently only the pre-1939 bombs.
You''ll find 2 special loads: the RRAB-3 cluster - the "Molotov's Bread basket" iconic of Talvisota (was also be taken under the wings of the R-5 in the Winter War) here with a load of AO-8m3 bomblets and the ABK-1 (the Russian "Spezzoniera", less sophisticated, but a great step forward from the previously used "Onisko" bucket).
The RRAB-3 was a simple "basket" liberating its content when its lid opens - spreading depending upon altitude of drop and quantity of bomblets inside - between 220 to 850 square meters if dropped under 3000m, between 480 to 1100 square meters if dropped between 3000m and 5000m. I uplaoded presently only one configuration among the ten possible, the others will follow soon. The RRAB-3 was alomst the only load to be carried on external pylons on the SB-2M100A (external pylons were used more extensively on the M103 engined version, much more potent)
The ABK-1 was a tube container taking the place of a regular 50kg bomb in teh bomb bay, with a bottom lid that opened to empty its content (7 configurations were possible, I uploaded presently 3 of them the 30 ZAB-2,5, the 30 AO-2,5 and the 3 AO-25)
I've also included arrays of Swedish and Russian made Depth Charge specifically used by these planes on anti-submarine missions - a specialty where Finnish operated SB-2 bombers excelled.
One last detail - Heavy loads are dropped one at a time for increased realism.
So here they are:

Update 2 - 28/5/14Here are the versions for 4.12.2 Modact 5.30
SB_2M_flyableSkis:
https://www.mediafire.com/?6mnp26leyizww4zyou'll need to install also the new Reworked AviaB-71 (as the new fix calls for some new java files there)
https://www.mediafire.com/?10rx22229wn6qn9(there is still an unwanted second gun barrel in the inner view of the front turret I need to take out).
To activate the rear gunner cockpit - you need first to open the cockpit then only when the cockpit is open you can press the autopilot touch and activate the gun (the upper rear gun is not functional so long the rear canopy is not open)
you have better also install the SB_NoseCocpite_fix_ver1 from here (I think this last fix originally comes from Aviaskins but I'm not sure):
https://www.mediafire.com/?bhtt9pee736s3ku Skis are fully functional if you choose a winter map (they retract on the 103, are fixed on the 100A). Same air ini as for the 410 version and of course the same need for the bomb packs (Russian and Finnish)
I included the new cockpits of the SB in these mods - the only problem is that the SB2103 has a turret instead of a sliding canopy gun position - and the current 103 turret is rather unconvincing - I will build and upload soon a new turret and corresponding java fix for this version.
This mod is for 4.10 (and now for 4.12 also) and has been tested on SAS modact and DBW 1.7
