Accurate Miniatures 1/48 IL-2 Stormovik
Although not their finest model ever produced. Accurate Miniature's Stormovik depicts well the outlines of perhaps, the most mass produced aircraft ever. Ergo, I chose to build it in a nearly completed factory condition. Hence, it is [...]
1/48 Tamiya Il-2 Shturmovik
Finished the 1/48 Tamiya Il-2 Shturmovik. It's a great kit - Tamiya's excellent kit engineering makes it very fun to build. I added riveting to the airframe with a rivet wheel, used Eduard's photo etch for the seatbelts, and also [...]
Il-2M3 Shturmovik
This model represents the Il-2 flown by Hero of the Soviet Union (HSU) Capt. Aleksandr Nicolayevich Yefimov of 198th ShAP (Assault Air Regiment), 233rd ShAD (Assault Air Division), in March 1945.
Yefimov was, at this time, the squadron [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Il-2m3 Stormovik
Though the idea for a Soviet armored ground-attack aircraft dates to the early 1930s, when Dmitry Pavlovich Grigorovich designed TSh-1 and TSh-2 armored biplanes, Soviet engines of the time lacked the power needed to provide the heavy [...]
Ilyushin Il-2M3 Shturmovik (Tamiya 1:72)
A few months ago @johnb John and @fiveten Spiros came up with a mini group build, building Il-2 Shturmoviks. What started as a duo build, soon evolved into several modellers building theirs and I was lucky enough to participate in this [...]
Ilyushin Il2 Stormovik Revell 1/48 (No.03932 year 2017)
Two months ago a combo build was started for the Ilyushin Il2 Stormovik together with Spiros @fiveten. This groupbuild grew rapidly and has already shown some great builds of this amazing aircraft and some excellent builds are still in [...]
Academy 1/72 IL-2 Stormovik
Finished this Xmas present that my daughter gave me. Academy 1/72nd aircraft kits are good quality (IMHO) but this kit maybe just a little over-engineered. The cockpit assembly is nicely detailed but I almost broke it trying to fit it [...]

1/48 ZVEZDA IL-2 Shturmovik
The famous Soviet Il-2 strike aircraft was nicknamed the "flying tank" for its reliable armor, powerful armament, and direct ground troops support in battle. Its mass production began in February [...]
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 [...]
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.
