That Il 2 might tempt me back to aircraft as well Dave. Always liked that aircraft.

I got that 1/72 Zvezda 'M4A2 Sherman 75mm' in my stash this week, looks very nice, sadly it comes with (rubber band looking) tracks in one plastic piece, which I think will be a pain.
Tim,
Just downloaded the instructions from the Zvezda website - looks pretty detailed - their 1/48 aircraft are very nice, the Pe-2 & the La-5FN are great & I have a couple more in the stash Zvezda also have done the single seater Il-2
Dave.
Steven,
ah - I thought it had the rigid tracks, that you had to bend round the running gear - rubber tracks would be a bit of a backward step!
Dave
Yes you are right Dave! they are plastic indeed, but they need to be bended around the wheels so I think that will be a real pain... I prefere the way Revell do their 1/72 tracks, in multiple sections. Cheers
Built a few of these snap fit kits now follow the instructions their a piece of cake if only other manufacturers would sit up and take note of how Zvesda do it.
I think they look great honest so simple. Dave
Here's an intriguing one!
On the Arma Hobby Facebook page they have announced that Eduard will be releasing a reboxing of Arma Hobbys' Hurricane Mk.I in February
Arma do a basic model at around £12 & an expert version ( with I suspect Eduard PE ), for around £18.
The Arma Hobby model is very highly rated & it'll be interesting to see Eduards' price point!

In that box art,what is the plane that the Hurricane has just shot up?....
Looks a bit Junkers esq, not sure I've seen one of those before,but I kinda like it?!
Andy
Unless I am very much mistaken, it's something Italian. Can't remember the exact name of the top of my head but someone did one on here not that long ago.
It's an SM 79 Sparviero, Andy. It was also known with its Italian nickname "Gobbo maledetto" that could be possibly translated into "Cursed hunchback" for its 12.7 machine gun in the hunch.
Ah,thank you very much indeed for that Andy
Excellent info, which will now probably result in me adding "just on more" kit to the stash..... If I can find one at the right price of course
!!!Andy
The SM-79 wasn't used over Britain, but Fiat Br.20s & CR.42s were - the scenario for the boxtop may be Malta, or perhaps Greece...................
Airfix, Italeri have done the SM-79 in 1/72, Trumpeter & Classic Airframes in 1/48

Ron built one on here a couple of years ago if I remember correctly. Made a great job of the Camo as well….
Apologies if I've missed or have posted this one... grey matter is not playing nicely today!
