Il-2 Stormovik

ajcmac · Aug 16, 2012

My next model. An Il-2 Shturmovik of Tamiya.

The box.

The sprues.

Transparencies and decals.

The chosen scheme was represented in the box-art.

can't see the pics?

Wurger · Aug 18, 2012

It's quite typical for the photobucket.com site. Also I can't see them ....

Posting from your hard drive is much better. Anxious to see them.

Wayne Little · Aug 18, 2012

I would really like to do this one myself.....I will resist as long as I can!

cannot see anything either

Pics were there, but gone now. Happens a lot with Photobucket, much better to upload direct.

Wurger · Aug 18, 2012

Yep.... I agree.

I think the error was caused by wrong generated links by the Photobucket site. Similar to these with links to Ki-100 shots posted by Vinnye in the Aircraft Pictures section. Now all is fine with them here.

thanks for getting the thing sorted guys. Its an impressive kit....

I made a dry fit that only served to confirm what I read in the 'reviews'

.

Then I started painting with the XF-22.

Nice. I assume you mean that the reviews say the fit is good and that your dry fitting confirmed that?

Airframes · Aug 21, 2012

Looks good, and I also assume what Andy assumes!
I'd guess that Tamiya will have spent a lot of time getting this right, or as 'right' as it can be and still be priced relatively reasonably, with ease and accuracy of fit being paramount.

Wurger · Aug 21, 2012

Looking good.

Wayne Little · Aug 21, 2012

Seen one build so far, went together real well, this should be no exception!

im just happy that someone is seriously building an IL-2. it made a very significant contribution to the soviet war, yet routinely gets canned around here.

i think this kit will come together very nicely
