Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik

Its in the outside holding area of the museum, so it could have been in that position for a long time. 
You know I don't like pristine paint jobs.

Thanks Andy
Some paint removed from the plane, next job some more rust and little bits and bobs.

Rusty aluminium.............Hmmmmmm

No Haddock ---  RUST on the armour plates that  made up the cockpit area and just distressed aluminium on the rest of the plane that was riveted to the metal cockpit.

All becomes clear now.
