1/48 scale IL2 Sturmovik

**Cardinal** · 02-28-2007, 10:19 PM

Given the discussion on other threads regarding the need for good quality Soviet 1/48 scale aircraft, I'm posting a poll on whether or not you would buy a die-cast version of the iconic IL2 Sturmovik (in 1/48).

Hopefully, some manufacturers such as Hobby Master, Carousel 1, Franklin Mint and Eagles International may take some notice ...

If Franklin Mint made one, I'd definitely get it.

Heck yeah! I wouldn't put this one past HM to try...(purty please).

(just think Harry, then all those German birds of yours would have something meaty to shoot at!

Hell yes, sign me a up for single seater, two seater, and IL-10 to boot as long as it's of Carousel 1 quality.

Regards,

Sergey

Yes--I've been waiting on one for a long time.

I hope that Carousel 1 jumps on it first.

IXO's parent already has a 1:72 version available in Europe, but not yet here in the US. I would like to see a 1:72 version as well.

Card, I voted "no". I know you would love to convince me to get into this scale, but I'm digging my heels in!

However, an IL-10 in 1:72 would be another matter - I'd purchase without thinking twice!

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 ?????????

I voted "perhaps", but "probably no" would be more accurate. What I REALLY want is a 1:72 scale, that I would definitely buy!

Merritec · 03-01-2007, 04:27 PM

1:72 scale only, in many liveries and I will get them all. Please.....

1/48 is my scale, you can count me in for sure (assuming good quality for the money).
