David Mooney Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 This aircraft is made from the Hobbyboss kit and it was a nice enjoyable build, there was a few tricky areas where it needed re-riveting but nothing too serious. I did a bit of research and came across 'Silver 6' by accident and thought it slightly different with the half star on the rear fin, so i made up a set of masks for the aircraft Silver 6 which was flown by Snr.Lt. A.I.Borodin of 504. ShAP (74. GShAP – Guards Assault Aviation Regiment – from 18 March 1943), Stalingrad front, winter 1942/43.

Furie Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Absolutely superb! The aging effect of the white paint is perfectly realized, the subtle patina and the contrast between the front of the green fuselage and the white of the wings gives a very lively rendering. A very very nice work that restores beautifully the lines of this plane! I love it ! BiggTim and David Mooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granger Davis Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Beautiful work! I’m trying to resist, trying my hardest not to get too much inspiration to break open my Sturmovik! David Mooney and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Outstanding work David! The camo scheme and weathering are top notch and mesh really well. I think you base is superb as well; you got the look of the snow spot on. Ernest BiggTim and David Mooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Excellent job! Hobby Boss gets a lot of flak (much of it deserved), but I've built the IL-2M3 and can honestly say it's a pretty good kit. Now you've got me itching for a single seater.
