Megablitz and more: Ilyushin Il-14 'Crate'

Thursday, 9 July 2015

I managed to finish this in time for the varnish to be dry to pack it for COW. I still say it looks almost nothing like a Dakota...

Extra big red starts for the avoidance of doubt. And to give AA gunners something to aim for.

Robert (Bob) Cordery said...: Tim,

It looks like it lives up to its code name; it is certainly a crate!

All the best,

Archduke Piccolo said...: I think my Army of Raesharn could use some transports like these. About a platoon per aircraft do you think? Of course, I'll have to paint up and uniform the airborne troops...; 10 July 2015 at 01:20
Martin Rapier said...: Looks great Tim. Nothing like the smell of fresh paint at a game...

Cheers

Just don't breathe in too deeply when I open the box tomorrow...; 10 July 2015 at 09:21
Service Ration Distribution (Hobby) said...: Like it! Did some of these Rusky ones have a gun turret option?; 10 July 2015 at 19:27
Fatman said...: Yup the Li-2 version had a 12.7mm in a dorsal turret.
