my little Ilyusha.

Hello all, been a while since I've posted here, and I wanted to show the Il-2 3m I recently finished. it is an accurate miniatures 1/48th scale kit, strait from the box, with the tamiya gaz and officers set. I did this for a school project after reading "Red Sky, Black Death" by Anna Yegorova. While not specifically her's, I wanted to give my English class comrades something to look at while I spoke.

anyway, here it is.

Thanks for any and all feed back!

Excellent build Norm,nicely weathered too not over done. I would be proud to have that on my shelf!

Very nice work! You should be proud of yourself although the plane and car could do with a little bit more weathering if you want it to be that tiny bit more realistic but still my god it looks fantastic and very well detailed, great work.

I wanted to do the Il-2 lightly because the instructions said that photos of this particular aircraft showed it quite clean. The dull coat on the gaz really lightened down the amount of mud I had on it, I may add more.

Nice build Norm. I think it looks fine just the way it is. The aircraft is very well painted with what I would call a realistic amount of wear and tear. Very nice.

The Gaz, well it could be a bit dustier but then not all vehicles drove around with half a ton of mud on them.

Alright yeah i take back what i said then, the plane is perfect i think. It's just the car could do with a pinch more dust
