Global Scale Modeller

My entry for "Winter is Coming" is an Ilyushin IL-2 Stormovik 1/48 from Acurate Miniatures.



I'm excited to start this kit and this is my first GB!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see ski planes in a winter GB, but awesome! A ski plane!

Have fun with the GB, I'll watch quietly

I'm looking forward to seeing this built up.
Good luck!

Thanks guys! Here are the sprues. I hope I can get started sometime this week. I haven't built many airplanes so this one will definitely be interesting!

Very cool! A ski plane, or should that be planeski? Lol!

Good luck with the build:)

I officially adopted your suggestion, LOL!

Got the cockpit built and painted. Still need to touch up some spots and weather it and I will certainly post pics when I get that done!


The instrument panel is nothing like I've ever seen. The decal goes on the back of a clear piece and you paint the face. I still have to finish detailing the face but here's a shot of the front.

More progress!

Beautiful aircraft. looking forward to seeing this come together

My tamiya 1/32 F4e phantom cockpit was the same. Looks really effective... providing the decal doesn't accidentally peel off and get lost

Got some more work done!



There will be a few gaps to fill and joints to sand! Stay tuned!

Looking good.

Thanks!

A little more work!

Nice work so far!

This is coming along very nicely.I look forward to seeing it completed.
Nice to how the other sturmoviks.

Cool project. Awesome plane. ....love the skiis.

Looking forward to the progress on this build!
