Now that looks really nice, thanks for posting the news Andy. I just wonder if we will see it here in time for Winter Wonderland - Show Us Your Skis

I always look at a halftrack differant because of that now! Always wanted one of these in 1/32 but 80-90+(?) USD is way out of line for a new kit in my budget. Who is supporting these market prices? Asian builders are that affluent now? Still, it's a great subject in great scale. Really have to think about this one...... Rick

Interesting. I heard rumors that Trumpeter was putting this one out, but it looks like it is going to be a HB offering instead. Judging from the pics, it looks like this will be a single-seat, metal-winged version. I'm a bit confused, though. It says that the later releases will include an IL-2 Ground Attack and an IL-2M3 Ground Attack. Seeing that the Ilyusha was built for ground attack/CAS, I'm left wondering what this means, exactly. Perhaps a different boxing with more bombs? A wheeled version with more bombs? Still, it's nice to see a big-scale IL-2. This one may just find its way into the stash. -YL

Hi, I'll be interested to see the rest of this series, so far it's looking good. Only problem is I'm going to run out of kidneys to sell before I can get the complete set. The Type M 3rd series was the late war variant that they upgraded with a pair of 37mm cannon. For those moments when 23mm just wasn't quite enough...

The second release is posted on the Hobbyboss site this week. A wheeled single seater. As for the underwing 37mm guns I want to say one of the test pics had shown them. The only one that I have not yet seen mention of is teh early two seat IL-2M with the 'straight' wings of teh single seater - like that was boxed by Eduard by combining sprues of teh AccMin kit a year or two ago Here is a link to a post with test pics of the kit (they may have been seen around here already!) http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46825 http://www.hobbyboss.com/83201.htm Here is the 1999.co.jp page including scans of the instructions http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10117797
