Zvezda 1/48 IL-2
Hi There,
I thoroughly enjoyed this one and am quite chuffed with it.
It gave me one or two fit issues which I think were more caused by my butchery of the plastic than by manufacture.
Edit: Just noticed that I've not removed the masking [...]
Review: IL-2 Sturmovik by Zvezda (1/48th scale – New Tool Video preview)
1/48 scale IL-2 Sturmovik by Zvezda - 100% New Tool!
Very nice kit from Zvezda, great base for future twin seater edition (bomb bay, etc.).
DISCLAIMER:
I am NOT! being paid to promote this kit, paints, tools and to make this video! [...]
Revell of Germany, (Accurate Miniatures) 1:48 Scale IL-2, "Stormovik"
The first for the new year, 2020, is this Revell of Germany, Ilyushin Il-2, Stormovik.
Actually this is a repop of the Accurate Minatures kit, and is STILL a very nice kit, albeit a wee bit fiddley overall.
The kit itself builds well, and [...]
My First Vacuform Kit
I'm hoping some day to snag a Vac Wings O2U Corsair to fill out my growing collection of dive bombers (as well as my collection of Corsairs), but since I've never done a vacuform kit before, I figured I should practice first. So I bought [...]
IL2 'Sturmovik'
Hello again, and back with something you don't see built too often these days:
First time I've built an IL2 and first time I've finished an AM kit. Engineering is superb IMO, as long as you take the time to read how other folks built [...]
Academy Il-2 (early) 1/48
Soviet Ski Team, 1940.
Single seat Il-2, straight wing. Easy meat for German fighters, led to the development of the Il-2m3.
A really nice kit, fairly innovative engineering but a straightforward build. Highly recommended.
1/72 Airfix Stormovik
Like it's builder (me), this model is an antique. It seems I've been going through a stage of doing old kits, that are fast and relatively easy. I've ignored my WWII Japanese and Soviet aircraft in the past, and I'm starting to fill [...]
The Flying Tank
This is the Tamiya 1/48th Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik
It's built straight from the box. The only addition was the pilots seat harness. All the paints used were Tamiya acrylics. The wing joint was so good, I painted the fuselage and wings [...]
SMER IL-2 1/72
This was one I finished in 2012. Not a bad kit, but the decals shredded so went to spares box. Also scratch built the oil cooler (at least I supposed that's what the cylindrical thing on the starboard wing is) and the tail counter weight, [...]
