Great-looking build, and perfect timing! I just bought a set of Akan paints to test them out, and the IL-4 was one of the subjects the set was designed for, so I'm pulling out my Master Model 1/72 kit to do so. How about a few more pics for reference material...? I like the weathering and chipping you did on it.

Hey Greg are you going to build that SU-2 that's lurking in your stash at the same time...

Excellent work (and like Greg said, weathering/chipping looks great)...that masking job looks like it was a real headache, though. Turned out well, however.

Great work of an interesting aircraft.

Lovely job of an aircraft I've never seen before,kind of like a predessesor of the B17 with two engines like the Avro Manchester was to the Lancaster. How much more satisfying is it to complete a really challenging kit rather than the latest Tamygawafix masterpiece and end up with a really nice and interesting addition to your collection,well done Paul.

Very nice result. I took a look at the kit when it was in the shop and passed. You demonstrated that it's a "tough build" but the result is great.

That is a unique looking aircraft, and you did a great job on it.

Hi Mike, thanks so much. It was fun to build. Very nice kit for a pretty short run etc.
