Academy 1:48 IL-2 "Ski Equipped Ealy Version"

Post by Russ72 »

This one has been on the bench for a while, finally finished it on the weekend. Its an Academy reboxing of an Accurate miniatures kit. It was a very nice kit to build, no flash or bad pin marks, and doesn't break the bank cost wise. It could be finished off in white or camo.

Really nice Russ! Il-2 has a lot of personality. A flying bath tub. Especially this early version. I like the weathering a lot. Not too clean but not too beaten up either.
