An interesting build ... the Tamiya 1/48 Il-2M3 Shturmovik

[Beserker]

"The Ilyushin Il-2 (Cyrillic: Илью́шин Ил-2) was a ground-attack aircraft (Cyrillic: Штурмовик, Shturmovik) in the Second World War, produced by the Soviet Union in very large numbers. In combination with its successor, the Ilyushin Il-10, a total of 42,330[3] were built, making it the single most produced military aircraft design in all of aviation history, as well as one of the most produced piloted aircraft in history along with the American postwar civilian Cessna 172 and the Soviet Union's own Polikarpov Po-2 biplane, sometimes seen side-by-side with the big armored Ilyushin design on the front lines."

Jan, do you build models yourself?

Also is there a particular reason for posting this?

My first thought



..... then I made a photo box yesterday...first set of pictures were rubbish...
Second batch of pictures usable, not happy with setup yet....oh well
(Brewer's presentation is worth striving for (imo); builds of the Ilyushin II-2 are far and few between.... the AK47 of the sky..... that's why.)

Hasegawa 1/24 Kübelwagen Type 82 DAK (Deutsche Afrika Korps)


Photo box needs tweaks.... 5000K light bulbs, replace light emitting material and adjust for correct WB setting on (my 'new') camera.
Mostly waste pictures here too, but a few show promise.....and they help answer the other question















..... and the 'crowning' finale; thought I'd copy this as a build for the Figure GB....but have since thought better of that.

[Paul]

Nah you couldn't enter that into the figure build............it's technically not a figure.

Ps your notek light isn't straight

[Lee]

Am I the only one confused?

[Paul]

Nope by the look of it I think Jan is slighty "confused"

[Beserker]

Why did I write "....but have since thought better of that."?

Ps your notek light isn't straight

Paul, did I invite you to criticize my build?
Clearly, I answered your question by showing a WIP; i.e. I answered both your questions. It would have been nice if you could have acknowledged that on your own.

Did I not answer these 2 questions Paul:

"Jan, do you build models yourself?

Also is there a particular reason for posting this?" .....yes or no?

How does that make me 'slightly' confused, Paul? and what are you confused about, Lee; can you not just say what it is?

Oh btw, does one have to build models to be a member of and participate in the ISM forum?

Number one not a criticism just a tip to straighten it when you get chance

Number two I was just clarifying that your entry would not qualify for the GB

You seem confused as you appear to be rambling on about nothing

Pedantic

Pedantic

I think pathetic is a better word

[Coen]

Sad, finger pointing, boring, trolling, lame, tiresome.
All great words.

That they are.

"One week ban" has a certain ring to it as well

[Coen]

It does. Any takers?

[Lee]

This stops now....

[Paul]

It stopped last night mate

[Lee]
