Il-2 Stormovik by Fly Model
Hello all,
In parallel of finishing the last smal details of the SAAR 2 missile boat, I decided to start a new building, and chose this one from a large package of models that are part of the to do list. Fly Model 53 includs 3 models - I-16 (doen), Ju 87 and Il-2, all of them at a scale of 1-33. The model desig looks detailed and colorful. Assembly of the fuselage is a "mix technology" as can be seen from the provided sketchs. The model is an Il-2 type 3 of the 3rd Czechoslovakia Battle Regiment in USSR spring 1945. Data and profiles taken from Wings Palette. When building the front fuselage some of the parts didn't fit. Had to cut some of them to smaller parts and to adjust each one of them. At some locations had to leave gaps for parts that need to printed. The vertical tail and the fuselage are made of one part, and to shape it became a challenge. At last fuselage is assembeled, as a small note - model design should have been in a way that would leave the Red Star as one, and not as two halves connected. |

Great to see someone building this one! It's been on my to do list for years now. I've done the Stuka and found it to be a redraw of the older GPM design. I'm wondering if this one doesn't have a history as well.
Interesting to see the mis-alignments as well. I'll have to keep all of your notes in mind when I finally get to do mine. Chris |

Hi Chris,
I am looking at Fly Model as a good company with accurate design, so it came as a surprise to me. In my opinion, building a frame and than covering it, is more sensitive to accurate design and build. Hope for a smooth building from now on. |

It is good to see a "classic" kind of paper model aicraft build. Of handdrawn Grzelzcak vintage, is it? - L.

I too am watching this with interest. The Il-2 was a great aircraft, quite important in the WWII line up. Your work is amazing. I look forward to seeing this kit come together.
