Welcome 🙂 I'm in progress of filling the almost empty cockpit using some (not all) part from the Part PE.

Welcome. I thought it's gonna be quick, but it wants more and more putty 😉 Wondering whether to rescribe the lines (not really eager to do it) or try drawing them with a pencil later on. After all it's a sentmental build, any accuracy is purely coincidential 😉

Nice details!

Thanks, imagine that used something like one third, maybe one fourth of the interior parts proposed by Part 🙂

Yes, they are mad indeed. Why couldn't they make some kind of 'Zoom' mini frets too? Dunno. 😉

Welcome, I didn;t expect so many viewers as the sprues are pretty ugly and inaccurate. 😉

Ahh, my dear lad, that is the fun of it. Also, all that PE should help.

I like to see the big challenges in complicated and old kits 😉

Thank you for your encouraging words. I just discovered today one wing is in front of the other 🙂 So today was the surgery day - I had to reattach the wing and the putty is just drying. Once again kudos to the Perfect Plastic Putty manufacturer! 🙂

Sanded, filled and primed the Shturmovik couple of times last days. Now the big question remains - to rescribe or not to rescribe? I still didn't decide, thought the kit is not to be the most accurate anyway...
Btw. during my research for this project I found out the brand new Tamiya kit has the newer wings (so called 'arrow' ones) and I doubt it can be built in wartime Polish camo.

That looks amazing! Nice clean build so far Łukasz! 🙂 👍

Nice job with that old kit 👍

Thank you. It was only possible thanks to the putty 🙂

Yours is a boy Il-2 (blue), my daughter's is a girl (pink). Great job on this old kit!

Looking good 🙂

Thanks, after all it's going to be blue only on the underside 😉

Looks good so far, Lucasz!

Good work so far, Łukasz! In fact Tamiya kit has the "arrow" wings. Mine is on its way from Japan 😛

Started painting. As usual in case of +1 colour camo I lost the preshading 🙂, but also I thinned the green too much and have to paint it once more.

The result is too bright for me.
After studying Urban's IPMS pages and Cybermodeller I decided to darken the colours accordingly: sand will be overpainted with Hataka Dark Earth (my approximation of FS30111) and green with medium shade from SEA set (my approximation of FS14257).
Grey and blue will stay 🙂

The Soviet Russia didn't have precise mixing standards, so I assume my findings to be fair enough 🙂

Last few days I spent on the make-up, hopefully it's not too heavy 😉

The make-up looking so good, Łukasz! 👍

Finished! Thanks for your previous comments 🙂 I spent last few days trying to get the antenna right (and broke it 5 times in the process 🙂 ) and mounting the machine gun (turns out, the gunner compartment has been designed too short in this kit.

Really nice, the basekit is very basic, and the detailing adds a lot of value..

Very nice Shturmovik, Łukasz. Good work with the antenna and paint. Congrats!

Thank you folks, the kit is very basic indeed and the dimensions are also inaccurate in multiple places (e.g. cockpit), but it's a very sentimental build anyway 🙂
