the South African Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Well gguys the IL2 is finished and I started on a mig 23 in May originally for the OOB GB but the Il took up a bit too much time so Ive missed the deadline.In light of the fact that the pics is date tagged andwas built along with the IL 2 I was hoping that it might find a home here if you will have it. The build is completely out of box save for the decals that I will use wich was made by well ME. Edited June 25, 2011 by the South African Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deon Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Since the date tags will prove it was no more than 25% complete at the start of this GB, I guess it's fair game, look forwards to seeing your posts transferred over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the South African Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 O.K guys well she's on her own legs (at last) it is very cold by SA standards today and the wind is howling something terrible so had time for some serious cram work. Need to stick on some more bits and pieces and then future and decals mat cote etc. should be finished by tonight around nine-ish.As a side note I am going to use a drop tank that was adapted from another kit a 72nd academy dragonfly to be precise and weapons load from revell and some other obscure kit (the academy options looks too much like toys to my eye,I also managed to break of the pitot tube so will replace that with a needle.Pics to follow. Thanks for looking and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the South African Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Well as promised here is the pics.Fresh of Shaun's assembly line paint still wet but calling her done.The kit was a pleasure to build save for the small fit problem around the intakes and the horrible canopy fit cockpit also devoid of detailthe toylike weapons and the instructions gives the options for an egyptian and a russian machine but only provides markings for the russian machine wich gives me the idea that this is a reboxing of someone else's mould any info on that would be welcome.I also surprised myself by being on schedule even ahead of it by finishing at 20:40. Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 also devoid of detailthe toylike weapons and the instructions gives the options for an egyptian and a russian machine but only provides markings for the russian machine wich gives me the idea that this is a reboxing of someone else's mould any info on that would be welcome. If it's 1/48 and Italeri, it will be the old Esci job. That description certainly matches it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallicus Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 hey that looks fantastic, great build!! to do the ++Finished++ thing you need to edit your first post. Do a full edit and under where you type the subject there is another field where you can type what you want. cheers brenden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
