Looking very nice, Michel! I did this very aeroplane in 1/72nd scale. I may need to redo my camouflage a bit, but yours looks brilliant!
Regards,
Jason

I didn't know that the red line was a serial number.  Under the white 6 it is the background color. And I still have to add the other red stars. Thing is that the foto's don't give all the details that has been airbrushed and weathered.  Thanks for the comments.  |

Hi, I think to see regularly spaced light lines on the stabilizer. They shouldn't be there, they give the idea of a metal stabilizer, but this one should be wooden and perfectly smooth.  Here is an example of serial of Il-2 built in Zavod 18, painted on the landing gear nacelle. I think it's painted red. Regards Massimo |

Ok.
Thing is that when using decals I've never saw it and was wondering what the purpose was.
Nevertheless I leave it because I don't have a replacement.

Hi, Finally my Il-2 is finished. It's a pitty that I'm not able to take more closeup pictures to see the fine detail. I'm happy with the result. Still have to add the antenna.         Michel |

Brilliant work, Michel! It's great to see an accurately-done Shturmovik, and done so well!
Regards,
Jason

Thanks Jason. Altough the spinner is not the correct one. |

Thanks Jason. Altough the spinner is not the correct one. You're welcome, Michel. Yes, the spinner is the weak point of the kit, in terms of accuracy. It's much too rounded. I'm sure you know this, but Vector make a nice replacement spinner and propeller blades for this kit. I intend to use it whenever I get around to my AM arrow (I also have the Eduard "kit-bash" straight-winged two-seater and the AM single-seater - I guess I need two more Vector sets!). Regards, Jason |

I'll leave my spinner as it is. Now I'm concentrating on the Mig-17 which also be very weathered. I've got the 80-20 rule in mind that I learned from Marijn Van Gils if you know him. He said that he takes 80% effort in the last 20% of the kit. It's when other modelers think the kit is finished it's then that I begin to see how far I can go. That's the fun part for me. |

Hi Michel,
really a nice model.
I suggest to check the alignment of the pitot probe, guns and balance horns, they don't look parallel on photos.
Regards
Massimo.

Well it's certainly that last 20% that takes at least 80% of the time to finish the model! Regards, Jason |

Massimo,
I've noticed that also. I'll check those again.
Thanks.

Hi Michel, very very nice work. I like specially how worn that Il looks. I've got the 80-20 rule in mind that I learned from Marijn Van Gils if you know him. I saw his several dioramas, really master class. I am a great fan of him. regards, 66misos |

@66misos Yes Marijn Van Gils is a Master concerning his diorama's and figures which he builds from scratch.  That I can't do. But I try to exceed my bounderies in every model. I knew the wash technique that has been used by military modelers but I wanted to do this by airbrush. |

Hi Michel, this is what I also think when starting new kit  : ... I try to exceed my boundaries in every model. But sometimes (or often?) I have to change my initial goal, especially when something goes wrong  I have 3 new kits and one rebuild "almost" finished now (decals are already applied). But wash with the artistic oil & oil paint turned out to be not so satisfying as on the La-5FN. I mixed something wrong and wash is after more than 3 weeks still wet (on La-5FN it was OK after cca 1 week). So I wait and "play" with Pokryshkin. Good luck with your next build. Regards, 66misos |
