Yeah. I looked in their instruction guide for more clarification. I suspected that notion after looking at real images of the IL-2s
Anyhow... last night a glued the wing halves and installed the fiddly bits. Bombs painted, rockets painted but I have to repaint them They're not suppose to be silver as the instruction guide says.
I'll repaint them black with white tips instead.

Here ya go. One must never rush a man until he has his first cup of coffee in the morning 
I'm aware of the gap from wings to fuselage. Gonna tackle that later tonight.

Oh so true. I was up at 6:30, showered, went to BK and got a coffee and a biscuit, then to the barber shop. Home by 8"30.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 9:08 am Here ya go. One must never rush a man until he has his first cup of coffee in the morning

And, the bild is progressing nicely.
For some reason, I don't have any of these machines.
