Fatboydim Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 This is the Tamiya 1/48th Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik. It's built straight from the box. The only addition was the pilots seat harness. All the paints used were Tamiya acrylics. The wing joint was so good, I painted the fuselage and wings completely before gluing them together. Thank you for looking. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That looks so good it is making me want to go out and buy one, even though it is about as far from the usual stuff I build as it is possible to get. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doozer1974 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 You've made a fantastic job of this. Been wanting to buy this kit, but the price tag seemed a little high -seeing one turn out this good is definitely testing my resolve! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thank you Martin, I don't normally build Russian aircraft, but I'm a sucker for anything Tamiya. I can't wait for their next 1/48th aircraft release (any rumours apart from the Tomcat?) Thank you also Turnerdad, they sure are top of their game. I've got their 1/32nd scale Birdcage Corsair in front of me. I keep giving it a coat of looking at! It might be my next build. Thank you Simon, yes, I agree, Tamiya are the best, and not just aircraft. And thank you Doozer1974. The price can be an issue sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboydim Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Great build Joe and super weathering skills on display too. Cheers, Roger Thank you Roger, the weathering was just a coat of artist gouache which, when dry, was cleaned off to accentuate the panel lines and stain the fuselage and wings. I then highlighted areas with Tamiya weathering master colours. Thank you also pascal and Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
