Revell Germany, 1/48th, pretty good kit. "Red 49" was stationed at Tula Airbase in Moscow (I believe) in the early 90s. I liked this kit a lot. Really easy and straight forward. There were a lot of stencils and I left most off because that would of taken a year just to put those on. No weathering, I like it the way it is. Enjoy and let me know what you think or whatever.

Nice aircraft and build, but my first feeling was that it isn't finished yet.

Nic clean build, Are those panel lines recessed? Try a dark grey wash on them. Maybe some Oil streaks ?
Just my taste.

HI
Nice clean build. Although you want it nice and clean, you should add a wash to the rudders, flaps etc, just to make them stand out a tinge.

I know I should do something to make a little more detail stand out. Maybe someday, I just finished a 110 and Stuka tonight. I am playing catch up on my kits that I started but never finished. Its crazy, I only have two left to do and then I can start something new. I'm glad you all liked it though, it looks huge sitting next to my Academy LA-7. Its almost incredible to see how much aviation had advanced in such a short time.
Thanks again guys,
