A second post for the day as I have been making quite good progress on a couple of fronts. The IL-2 was decaled last night using the original 1970's decals and while fragile these went on reasonable well with Decalfix.
I also did a bit of welding at work to make a stand for the aircraft during wargame situations, and this I was most pleased with.
A beautiful sunny day can make a drab plane look glamorous, today is no exception!
Excellent flypast
ReplyDeleteLike the scenic backdrop
:)
Nice work. A great stand too, now you can play with your plane!
ReplyDeleteAnd how come you're getting sunlight over younder hill? We haven't seen any sun for, well, it seems like weeks! So much for summer...

Yep, the rock garden makes a nice backdrop, as for the sun well I ordered some in may last year, and NZ Post finally got round to delievery last week.
ReplyDeleteSweet kit Paul, I'm looking for one of these myself.
ReplyDeleteHey Al, I believe Airfix have re released it this xmas, but Mr Models have an ICM SU-2 light bomber, which looks pretty nasty!

As Nick Grant says, great backdrop.
ReplyDeleteMight do the same thing with a few things for my blog...
Looks very nice Paul. I never ever made that model so it might just go onto my ever increasing list of things to build.
