It really is a "therapy" kit in that you could probably build one all the way up to the finished model in a day with no interruptions. I have another single-seater just waiting to be built and I look forward to finding a two-seat version for the future. I can highly recommend the 1/48th scale version and No.1 will probably agree about the 1/72nd kit.

I'll probably spray the undersides this morning if it gets a little warmer in the shop.

This would be done already but I have jam with Revell paint. Simply it is not for the fine nozzle. I spent a hour to clean up problem it make. Images show protection of the cockpit, then coat of the Surfacer, coat of the aluminum paint and spots of the Mascol. Bottom is painted with my hand mix of the Gunze color to get shade as close to VVS underside blue. If I get tomorrow any good paints, I will complete top colors. To regret, my range of fine colors are limited.

Excellent result, as usual. I'm going out now to spray the underside of the larger version as the temperature here is much warmer......

I lied a little the other day--I was going to spray the undersides but other duties got in my way........ Today I dusted off my old paints and got the bottom of the airplane painted:

Il 2 Group Build


The paint I used came from Humbrol tins that I bought in 1979. :-wise I was pretty skeptical when I opened the first tin, but it mixed up perfectly. The second tin of darker blue took only a few stirs to fully mix. I tip my hat to the "old" Humbrol products for lasting all these years without losing performance.

I'll keep plugging away, Sall--hopefully I can finish the project by the end of the month.

No.1, your finished product looks great! Is the April build going to be the Corsair?
