Here are a couple of more shots of my in progress IL-2's - a (relative) closeup of the black and green bird, and the schizo (mixed camo) version. I've attempted to blend in the normal camo scheme on the schizo one with the winter camo wash. I'm fairly pleased with the result. It occurs to me that I've been remiss in indentifying the kits my IL-2's are made from. In this case, the black and green model is from the Toko kit, and the mixed camo model is from the Smer kit (both 1/72nd scale, sorry Lucky13). Overall I'd give the Smer kit higher marks as it has a nicely done interior and better surface detail, but I think the width of the fuselage looks too small to me whereas with the Toko kit, although the interior isn't that great, and the underfuselage cooler treatment isn't very good, it looks about right in terms of the fuselage width. At any rate, they both look like Shturmoviks to me, and as I'm definitely not a rivet-counter, that's good enough for me.
