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...

Martin Rapier said...

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

Cheers
Martin

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

Just don't breathe in too deeply when I open the box tomorrow...

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.
