Beautiful work on the Kukuruznik! What paints did you use - AKAN? Although I'm afraid it's in that nasty 1/72nd scale, I wonder if anyone here has seen and/or worked on the new ICM U-2.
Regards, Jason P.S. The M-11 engine looks especially nice - did you do much additional work to it? Title: Re: Eduard 1/48: Polikarpov U-2 GC3 Normandie 1944 Post by: B_Realistic on June 13, 2013, 08:49:11 AM @Xan
This is very well done. :o You did a good job on the wiring which is difficult. Personaly I would love to see more weathering at the underside. The engine is well done. Title: Re: Eduard 1/48: Polikarpov U-2 GC3 Normandie 1944 Post by: 66misos on June 13, 2013, 09:01:05 AM Hi Xan,
very very nice work. It reminded me times long years ago when I built my Kukuruznik 1:72 from Kozavody Prostejov. Of course quality of my work then and yours now is not comparable ;) Excellent. 66misos Title: Re: Eduard 1/48: Polikarpov U-2 GC3 Normandie 1944 Post by: TISO on June 15, 2013, 01:34:58 PM A beautiful build. Nice to see something else than multitude of Yak-s from N-N (IMHO nothing wrong in that mind you).
RE ICM 1/72 kit: That kit it is a little bombon (a sweet little thing). The only PE parts you need are for instrument panel, seat harneses and throttles. Fuselage is extremly thin and has all the details you need moulded inside. It almost seems that master that was used had interior done with PART pe set (almost identical details) Title: Re: Eduard 1/48: Polikarpov U-2 GC3 Normandie 1944 Post by: learstang on June 15, 2013, 05:47:40 PM A beautiful build.

here are some more details: the seats (http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2013/04/01//13040110525014768311038660.jpg) the engine: (http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2013/04/20//13042009431014768311103936.jpg) some plastic card piece and the hole in the base of the wing (http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2013/04/07//13040711210814768311060570.jpg) Xan Title: Re: Eduard 1/48: Polikarpov U-2 GC3 Normandie 1944 Post by: B_Realistic on June 19, 2013, 09:22:49 AM Impressive. :o
