Tamiya 1/48 Sturmovik

[snapper41]

Hi all;

Finished yesterday, the Tamiya 1/48 IL-2 Sturmovik. I've never made a Soviet aircraft before, and I've lost count of the hours I spent reading about VVS camouflage colours on the internet! I think I've got them about right...

Beautiful model; perfectly engineered as you would expect from Tamiya. If you lose your modelling mojo, get one of these!

Beautiful job. I really like the weathering, in particular the lovely soft exhaust stain and the perfect amount of chipped paint effects. Seeing models like this really tugs at my heart strings and makes me miss being at home all the more. I just want to build a model!

Wow, that is a magnificently finished Sturmovik, nicely painted and subtly weathered. Top build for sure on this one.

I just moved house too Richard and won't be able to get at it for a while yet. A lot of inspiration in the forum for us stranded souls, like this awesome build.

Very nice model Snapper I really like your finish. Very nice weathering. The camouflage is really good.Also like the rigging & the care you have taken to include the junction joints which are in many cases omitted. Very nice carefully constructed aircraft.
