discussion Il-2 Shturmovik

[Guest]

This is a model which was started a little over one week. The Il-2 of the Tamiya 1/48 scale.

I began by painting most of the interior parts with XF-22 Tamiya.

Then I started building the "office" of the pilot.

Lights and shadows, chipped paint, a wash and finally the decals of the dials.

Missing glue the pilot's seat because I'm waiting for the Eduard seatbelts.

Next, the gunner's compartment (almost done).

Brown mixed with black (Model Color Vallejo) and then applied it with a sponge.
