Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik

Accurate Miniatures 1/48

This kit was built for the club's annual BA Cup.  The Sturmovik is one of the workhorses of the Russian Air Force during WWII.  During the Russian winter, aircrafts were field-applied with water-washable white paint to serve as camouflage.  During the harsh winter conditions, this white paint quickly deteriorated.  Base camo can be easily seen underneath the white wash.
