IL-2 Stormovik

It sucks...

It's the only game in town for a Sturmovik in 48th (unless you're into vacs & resin) and it would be kinda hard to beat this kit. I can only see one manufacturer doing a "better" job on an IL-2 and that would be Tamiya. But seeing as that won't happen in our lifetime...

Anyhoo, it has a few minor fit problems, but I've yet to come across the perfect-fitting kit.

If you're thinking about buying one, or building one, go for it.


Fade to Black...

i like it blackwolfscd i thought it was well done aircraft and i love the detail in the cockpit but i did make some parts myself

It's beyond brilliant.

May have gone a liiiiitle overboard on the weathering.

that is one weathered plane!

The "bringing together" of the fuselage and wings requires care. After many dry runs the subassemblies can be GENTLY massaged together. I built the 2-seater, and the one on skis. Loved 'em both !

Guys whats vacuming and resin and how do you do them?
Thanks.
