Ilyushin Il-102

Someone emailed me about it recently, so I dug it out and photographed it....



The results are at -

along with some photos taken during the build.



I know it isn't brilliant - it needs to be stripped down, modified slightlty, repainted properly and have some underwing stores fitted.

Ken, What is "Ureol"? Never encountered the stuff before. It appears to be a urethane type material, similar to some of the stuff that I use for masters. Who makes the stuff? How does it work and take a finish?

Other than the paint job (your call) it looks like a cool/neat representation.

Ken,

I remember a page of yours with wwii Russian bomber with lots of parasite fighters and I can't find it anymore. Is it still available?

Cheers,

That looks pretty slick! The only thing I see wrong with the paint is the "yellow" should be more sand or ochre; the gold looks almost metallic like a car finish. Thanks,

I just did a search on Yahoo UU - and found quite a few modelling companies using it - one of which is :-
