Ilyushin Il-14 'Crate' - part 3


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.

    Tim,

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

    All the best,

    Bob

    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...

    Looks great Tim. Nothing like the smell of fresh paint at a game...

    Cheers

    Don't laugh. Tomorrow afternoon you'll either be jumping out of this or trying to shoot it down!

    Like it! Did some of these Rusky ones have a gun turret option?

    Yup the Li-2 version had a 12.7mm in a dorsal turret.
