| Re: 1/48 scale IL2 Sturmovik
My reservation, to SUCH an important W.W.II a/c would be the quality of the mould & shape in general.
It's gonna be trouble enough, getting the fuselage right.......BUT then.......
Whoever makes one, will have to pay PARTICULAR attention to the MAJOR differences of the mid-to-outer wing sections & the leading edges
As a general rule - the early-mid war Single seaters had a MUCH straighter leading edge........
as opposed to the Twin seat IL-2m3's swept back/angled leading edge........
The wings of each version being NOTICABLY different.
I've got both versions (in 1/48th) in plastic kit form, by (the superb) Accurate Miniatures firm.
Check a comparitive PLANFORM view from above (of BOTH versions), & see for yourselves ????????? |
