help wanted - my russian isn't all that good...

Nemesis · 2004-10-03T11:35:53+00:00

I got this cute little thing at my local hobby shop the other day. Thebox is, well, just about destroyed, but the model itself is still inone piece. Not that sure about the decals, but we'll cross that bridgewhen we get there. It's only a few red stars anyway.My problem is the following. I have no idea what kind of plane thisis, or who built it, or anything, as the instructions are in Russianonly, and spiled as I am, I'm used to an English translation comingwith it. Judging from what I learned doing this hobby, I'm guessingit's a bomber comparable to the B-26. So can anyone help me out?I took 3 pics, one of the box art, presumably stating the make andtype of the plane. This picture also has the only thing I understand:the scale :)The second pic is of the text on the 1-image instruction sheet, thethird of the color specs. Can anyone translate these for me pls?

The second posting with, I assume, a corrected url made the newsgroup crash. I obviously got it back but I've never seen that before. :)

LOL! Okay, the above URL is of the Revell '91 Ilyushin Il-4. Who's got a Zvezda to compare? Or another boxing of this kit so we can conclude it's the same mold? tia,
