Hi Everyone, Managed to finish my attempt at making a Pe-2 that took part in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the last months of WW2 during operation August Storm Built from Zvezda`s 1/48 kit Pretty much out of the box, with just some dodgy seat belts and aerial wires added Had to replace a few smaller details like the boarding ladder with some made from wire as I broke a few bits cutting them off the sprues Decals were some from the kit and the red and white `19` was made from some red 19`s with some white decal strip from the stash Finished to try and represent an aircraft of the `Pacific Fleet` based at Nikolayevka AB, 1945 I confess to getting bored with this one half way through and if I did one again I`d leave a lot of the details you can`t see out to speed things along. Anyway, hope you enjoy, thanks for looking and a Happy New Year Cheers Russ

Hi Everyone, Just finished my attempt at making a Il-2 Shturmovik to represent an aircraft that would have took part on the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in operation `August Storm` at the very end of WWII. Built from Tamiya`s 1/48 kit, virtually OOB Finished to represent an aircraft of the; 967th Ground Attack Air Regiment of the 248th Ground Attack Air Division of the 12th Air Army Unfortunately I have been unable to find any photo`s and very little of anything else regarding this campaign, so...... .... this one is based on a profile of one marked `White 39` from the same outfit Only additions to the kit are seat belts and aerial wires, with decals from the stash. There`s a lot of passionate debate about Soviet colours and paint schemes so I just gave it my best shot. Anyway right or not I hope you enjoy, Thanks for looking, Cheers Russ
