Hobby Boss 1/32 Il2 for Kari

Post by Paul »

Kari talked me into this so any resemblance to an actual aircraft is purely accidental. I got on with the pit and engine but since I am not showing the engine I will dispense with the painting.
The interior calls for "dark compass ghost gray" and since I didn't have that I just went for dark sea gray. some guys have it sort of a bluish gray but as you know I am not some of those guys. I choose to march to the beat of a different balalaika.

The IP decal is quite big and after two days of liberal soakings of Micro sol and Solvaset I fianally got it to settle in.

Ill have to touch up some things in the pit before I get it in the fuse.

Image

Image

And as I said earlier not much is done to the engine. It is just to hold the exhaust stacks on.

Image

Image

Which is kind of a shame as it does lend itself do some nice detail.

I got the wangs on this ole girl, sewed the fuse shut, wind screen on and the rest of the clear stuff masked.

Image

Image

But not with out some wing issues. I so loathe three sectioned wing assemblies because of the great possibilities of wing gaps. This one I filled in with CA.

Image

This one I guess Ill use some plasti-card.

Image

Other that those two sections every thing seems OK, for now. Later

Wouh, it a big bird !

But do I see correct, that the kit is providing a transparent "engine hood" ?

Yeah, it looks it. A thought... why don't you paint the engine and mask only one half of the cowling.

That's gonna be a nice big bird. You're a strong man to resist plumbing that engine and then painting it all up nice to show off under that clear cowling... :hmm:
