IL2 Ilyushin NASM

[Tony Kambic]

The Il2 Ilyushin that Smithsonian has was brought into the restoration shop at Udvar-Hazy yesterday to begin work on it. From what I gather the fuselage from the rear cockpit back needs to be re-done as it was a quick fabrication for display purposes from wherever it was housed.

I will try and add some images next week.

I see "flak bait" in the background there. Nice!
