Ozzyman69 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Well. Dear friends. The process of assembly is already nearing the completion. No spare parts almost, no free time yet and that`s enough (no cause) to complete this WIP at the next weekend. So, the chipping is done and landing gears are installed... I even forgot to say about antennas and guns installation, but I hope that process should be (till the end) without any problem. And decals of course..I know Cheers.

bbudde Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hello Andrii, Looks great in every respect. By the way nice pipe. Smoking cigarettes, although I try to give it up. Just need the right kick and this theme is gone. But I hate these kind of hunting of those by the government here in Germany by now, if you know that this government gets 2/3 of the sales by taxes of that Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzyman69 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hello everyone fans of the Finnish Airforce IL-4 WIP here. The decision making to the choose of material for engine cowlings assy was traditional. And now I can to do the painting of the cowlings surface in according with the main scheme. So, base for the stand: - from my point of view, it would be good compromise Looks like as a bit of cheese-cake, innit? I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzyman69 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 OK, friends. In these few minutes I wish to draw your attention to the following fact: The engine cowlings halves are painted (chipped and stowed in the transportation box) And just over the Finland is snowed.

In the intervening months we have working hard to deliver on those result of the WIP and it is time for us to take stock so that we can sustain those achievements and identify what still we need to be done. There is three months as a result of achieve the objective. It was very intresting to build this aircraft but too long. Nevertheless it was a great battle, I`m happy now. The IL-4 is arrived on display base of the "finnish air field". Finally, thanks to everyone who has submitted posts and other feed back (Benedikt, I will newer forget your idea and this WIP cheers), thank you all for your attention. Hope you like it.

dalea Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 OK you've got me inspired. I have had the Zvezda kit for a long time now and I don't think it is as bad as it is made out to be. Anyway I've just acquired the Sutcliffe vacform which gives me the opportunity to make two kits but the clear parts can do with an upgrade. So, I've just ordered the MSD kit which I expect to be truly terrible. Hopefully with a bit of aftermarket (Decals? Torpedo?), I can do something. Not aiming at anything like as good as yours but a bit of an improvement on the original 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you will also have a good job. The main thing: is not to hurry and do all the work steps carefully and thought out. Good luck! Thanks for visiting on page. Best regards Andrii.
