Hello all. This is not another Rock star's aircraft by the way.
I needed to do something a little simpler than my last project which was a vacform Felixstowe F.2A. I was booked into a Group Build (Unarmed) and I thought that this Ilyushin would be an ideal candidate. The build log, complete with a number of self-inflicted errors, is here if you would like a laugh look:
This is what I ended up with:
And to compare it with the VC-10 which it so looks like:
All in all, this kit certainly did it's job, it was a lot easier than the Felixstowe, but it still gave me things to think about.
Oh yes, the reason it is REM's Il-62M is that it was operated by the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
Thanks for looking,
Ray
