discussion Il-2M3 Shturmovik (Tamiya 1:72)

[InFlames]

Excellent Tamiya model, which made me a few problems at the start of the build, but luckily, I could remedy the problem. First time using Quinta 3D cockpit decals only to realize, that there is no option of open cockpit. Oh well, at least the canopy has the clearest clear plastic I have ever seen in a model.

Very nice job on a very purposeful looking bird. Alway think the little three bladed air screw has a lot of airframe to lug around though
