This is my just built 1/32 Hobby Boss Iliouchine Il-2m
Stormovik. I purchased this box while I was in Beijing on a recent
business trip in
China (best selling price ever!).

This is mainly an OOB build,
I only improved with a few little things such
as the thinning of the air intakes edges, adding brake lines on the undercarriage and scratch-building the sighting devices (inexistent in
the Hobby Box kit); one is located behind the windscreen and the other one is on the upper cowling...
Putty has been very moderately used as all parts fit together rather well...
Finally, it was time to age and weather "the Beast", working on used paintings effects, dust, dry mud and stains of all sorts...
I tried to make her looking like the "flying tank" she was...
Hope I succeeded...
Merci,
Olivier Barles
