Hi Msea,
Looking nice, another forgotten item.
Just check as you go along, most IL-2's especially later variants, had a large proportion of wood in thier construction, wing's, fuselage's, etc.
Although, it could be an orginal Msea item, not standard stock.
Cheers,
Bigkev

You are correct about the construction Kevin but I want to do an aluminium surface in its old age - so its a combination of old and later sturmovik ( in other words another abomination out of my head - hohoho)

Put the wire wool and vinegar in the jars and they are at the bottom of the garden - not looked for a few days, must go and see but its the LIVERPOOL match now so will check another time.

Bits of wire and bits and bobs out of the scrap box to add some interest to the empty engine bay - when dry will rust them all up.

Looks like its been parked up in Brid too long...

Coat of chipping medium and then light grey over this - then some chipped off showing the brighter aluminium showing through.
When dry will give it a wash of white/aluminium and then more chipping medium and the camouflage colour of faded green and brown.

A lot of work is going into this Martin. Looking good.

Thanks Chris we will see how the finished article looks !!!!!!!

Hi Msea,
Looks promising at this stage.

Just doing some long overdue catching up.  I'm liking this one MSea.  It takes a good amount of imagination to destroy an aircraft convincingly, and you're not short of imagination!

Moe magic innovation! Great!

Wings added to the body

Looks like I've had a go at landing it. 
Looking good MSea.

Looks good so far Martin.
