Tbolt Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Well it will be interesting to see how it compares to the Zvezda one anyway, but I shouldn't buy any more Il-2's 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Oh, come one! You can never have too many Il-2s! I don't even normally buy 1/48th scale kits, but I'll buy this, if nothing else then out of curiosity to see how it matches up to the Zvezda kit.

Looking at that page, I just noticed that a new-build Chinese Badger, an H-6N, is going to be released in 1/72nd scale! Except for I've almost run out of room for any models 🙃 I need to build a lot this year to make some room 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I might have to do a 1/48 Il-2 series with all the available kits from Zvezda, Tamiya, Accurate miniatures and now Trumpeter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmsman Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Scaled down Hobby Boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it would be nice to have an improved all metal fuselage version to the Accurate Miniatures kit, the rivets are pretty bad on the Hobby Boss kit. Not only are they all recessed they seem to have been done by someone guessing at the pattern without any understanding of aircraft construction. So hopefully this kit will be more accurate in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
