Hobby Boss 1/32 Il2 for Kari

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.
And as I said earlier not much is done to the engine. It is just to hold the exhaust stacks on.
Which is kind of a shame as it does lend itself do some nice detail.
