Well Il(10)'ll be damned!!...

Is this Lend-Lease'ski then?


Looks good in RAF colours, but me thinks Tiffy squadrons did ok without it.

Cool...the original flying tankbuster...grand-dad of them all...nice job Ian, everything looks better in RAF cammo.

Those Tiffies did do perfectly fine on their own, but as bearcat says, most things look better in RAF camo and this is for a little project I'm working on

And those kind of puns just make me feel Il

 

[JEDDRAGON]

oh well even so I think it looks good for the British scheme as for puns I seems that this IL plane was like a flying tank with tank buster abilities right you could say it was the Russian A-10 thunderbolt of it's time XD

 

[Jagdflieger]

Was not the Sturmovic the most produced Russian plane of the Great Patriotic War?

If you Belive WikiPedia.....

"...The Ilyushin Il-2 (Cyrillic Илью́шин Ил-2) was a ground-attack aircraft (Shturmovik) in the Second World War, produced by the Soviet Union in very large numbers. In combination with its successor, the Ilyushin Il-10, a total of 42,330[SUP][3][/SUP] were built, making it the single most produced military aircraft design in all of aviation history..."
