AC_Rus Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Hello. Here I have tried to complete the model airplane, I started a year ago, but delayed for some time. Thus, I have: Tamiya 60781 kit - IL-2. Added: Eduard - photoetched set, Aires - stabilizers, Brassin - pipes and wheels. I choose option I.F.Pavlov pilot (6 GvSHAP, 1944). All made 248 sorties, showing great skill stormtrooper brave, skillful scout and valiant commander. The attack on the enemy suffered heavy losses in manpower and equipment in the aircraft shot down four enemy planes. To date, my model is as follows: The next step is to process the wing, glued canopy, and to restore the missing line panels. Regards, Alex.

Learstang Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I don't know how I missed this build, but excellent work on the Il-2! One thing I notice are the lightening holes on the fuselage opposite where the elevators fit - I don't believe the Il-2 had these. This part was wooden and an integral part of the wooden rear fuselage, not metal, and it would not have had the lightening holes.

AC_Rus Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 In the tail of IL-2 have a metal construction. This can be seen in the drawing. I also saw IL-2 in the museum Kbely, where I saw this point in detail. This is a metal rib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Drawings are not to be trusted, period. The Prague-Kbely example, although it has a replica wooden fuselage, has been rebuilt at least twice. Restored examples are not to be trusted either. I have looked at some of the Il-2 photographs I have and this area is wooden on Il-2's (with wooden rear fuselages) and without lightening holes. Below I post some GPW photographs showing this: Single-seaters (the second photograph shows the wooden nature of this part of the fuselage): Straight-Winged Two-Seater: Arrow (admittedly not the best photograph, but it does not appear to show any lightening holes in the part of the fuselage next to the elevator): If you have any GPW photographs that show otherwise, I would love to see them.

AC_Rus Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Dear Jason, your pictures have convinced me to remake it on the model. Tomorrow I will.Yesterday and today I have been busy painting model. Here we have the following result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Beautiful painting, Alex! I'm glad that my photographs could be of some use to you. As you might have guessed, the Il-2 is a particular interest of mine (I have even written a book on the Il-2, which will hopefully be published this May). What paints did you use? They look good.

AC_Rus Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thank you. I used enamel for cars company SpiesHecker. The colors got himself when necessary mix shades. I'm not very keen on IL-2, I am more interested in USAF aviation. But Tamiya produce excellent model, so I decide its build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You're welcome, Alex; wherever you got the paints, they look good! I especially like the AMT-4 Green - I think that's an excellent match to the original Soviet colour. The 1/48th scale kit is even more-detailed, of course; I bought it, and I don't normally do 1/48th scale. I usually do 1/72nd scale, and the Tamiya kit is the best Shturmovik kit in 1/72nd scale. Since they scaled-down the 1/48th scale kit to 1/72nd scale, I wish they'd scale it up to 1/32nd scale. I would most definitely buy that, no matter how expensive.

AC_Rus Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Plated model thin layer of gloss varnish Future. Apply decals. Complete bombs and rockets, and the propeller. Make the right tail portion (remove relief of a rib elevator). Edited January 21, 2015 by AC_Rus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Brilliant work, Alex! I especially like the work on the rockets and the rocket rails. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
