dragan_mig31 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hello to all.here is one of my latest finished models. The 144 Zvezda Il-76.it is not the best kit out there. Too complicated and overengineered while having the shallowest of panels that wont hold more than one layer of paint.Other than that it is an ok kit I guess.With a bit of work it can be made into a nice representation of the il-76.Pinted in gunze acrylics.

John_W Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Lovely build. I always wonder about the Russian obsession with tail turrets. They put them on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Excellent result. The Il-76 from Zvezda rides quite high in my to buy list but you have mentioned some issues with the kit, should i better go for the Trumpeter kit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made both, and Trumpeter is far, far away behind Zvezda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean far behind?At least the panels must be deeper.The zvezda model had one of the shallowest panels i have seen.They could barely hold any paint.

Maybe I expressed my answer too much 😉Zvezda has much better engines, You can choose different variants of final model. Panel lines are, in my opinion, correct to scale. Landing gears are better in Zvezda too. And lastly, You can show interior details. Cheers 🍻 Piotr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
