Model Type: Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik
Accessories: none
Decals: provided with the kit
I've been really looking forward to this group build, so here's my entry - Academy IL-2 Sturmovik single-seater in 1/72 scale. Must say I'm really impressed with this kit as it is highly detailed for this scale. Cockpit details are superb. Decal sheet offers options for 11 different aircraft - nine in Soviet markings and two for examples captured by the Germans and Hungarians. I still haven't definitely decided which particular aircraft I'm going to build, but probably it's going to be "Yellow 82" with inscription "BАЛЕРИИ ЧКАЛОВ" as shown on the box art. (The inscriptions often seen on Soviet aircraft were either names of fallen comrades or patriotic slogans. In this case it's the name Valery Chkalov.)
I'll start working on this one probably by the beginning of next month after I finish my entries for Night fighter/Commonwealth Group Build.
