I would add, that it is not a very big problem to correct those shapes, even to draw the lines again. Anyway the FLY model has very nice surfaces and detailing...

Yes, the quality of the kit is excellent; correcting the shapes may not be difficult (thanks to the work you guys did on the weekend!), but it does mean risking damage to some of that amazingly fine detail.

I still have hope that it will look fine 'in the round'. And a LOT better than anything I could ever do with the old KP kit. Might have to give this one a go.

While waiting eagerly for the decent Il-10 in 72nd scale I still don't feel sure whether THIS is the definitive one

I don't know what drawings is this kit based on, but the real thing (for last 40 days I can touch it every day) has much beefier nose and the windscreen doesn't look so high.

Remember that the cowling must embrace the 2850 CID (yes - more than DB603 or Sabre) Mikulin AM-42 thus the nose cannot be so slim like in 1650 CID-powered Mustang or Spitfire... I would rather be wrong, however But old KzP kit also had cowling upper outline about a milimetre too low.
