gunpowder17 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Well i havent done a WIP for ages so i thought i would give it a go again. My Wife bought me this wheil we were on Holiday at my Parents in Devon. Actually we got it for a good price.Ive been wanting to build a Sturmovik for ages and i had been looking at the Hobbyboss 1/32 one. Im glad she bought me the Tamiya 1/48 one. I was blown away when i opened the box. Amazing molding , beautiful surfaces , great decals and even canopy masks! Fantastic! Work starts in the cockpit and as you would expect from Tamiya it litterally falls together. I have painted it RLM Grey and dry brushed with a lighter shade. The decals for the instruments settled down perfectly with some Klear. The front and rear interiors slide in from underneath so the fuselage can be assembled. The front intake and parts all fit perfectly. NO filler anywhere yet Thats it for now. I will post more pics later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder17 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 BTW is it me or is there a spelling mistake on the lid?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theclay Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 i think it is a spelling mistake. i have always seen the il-2 written as Sturmovik, but there could be another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Moore Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Its pronounced with the "sh" sound.... according to Peter Yustenov narrating the "Wings of The Red Star" series. (Roll the "R" if you can). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
