I dug out this Sturmovik kit recently as I have a game idea which requires such a beast. It went together pretty well - the parts fit was rather good.
The kit came equipped with bomb racks. This being a ground attack machine it seemed like a good idea to fit them.
Looking good Mr. Gow. Might I ask what the game is?
ReplyDeleteLooks good. I second Conrad Kinch's question.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
You tease
ReplyDeleteI have one of these partially built
Well more out of the packaging
Been trying to build it for the last ten years!
I have two of these jokers. One a friend flicked on to me built but unpainted several years ago. One of the propeller blades is missing, but I'm thinking of replacing all three with a clear plastic disc anyhow. The other I have had even longer, from when Airfix called them 'Stormovik'. As my aircraft collection - small as is is - was always intended to be supports for ground games, I used the ground attack version Il2-3M.
ReplyDeleteThis was from before my developing a preference for under-scale aircraft for this purpose. Although much smaller than 1:72, for some reason I can explain, the smaller aircraft 'look' right. My collection there is very small, and rather one-sided: 3 tank-busting JU87, 1 Me109, 1 Me262, 1 Fe Storch (metal), 2 Fw190 (plastic); and 1 MiG3.
