With much regret I must say I am done here. I was going for a sure nuff finish with some underside weathering, mud splatters and what not.
I did some weather streaking alone the airflow over the wings, using AK Interactive Winter Grime, figured why not. Worked it very thin so may not show well.
Fixed the brass barrels I've been holding on to and while I was fitting the spinner in place, the LHS exhaust popped loose and fell inside the fuselage. If you've built this kit you know at this stage there's no way of getting in there. VERY Frustrating to say the least.
so with that, I'm calling it done. I'm not going fishing for it because even if i get it out, don't know how I can get it back in place. Maybe some day in the future I'll give it a shot but not now.
So here's the White Wash learning lesson. I would flat coat this but not going to waste time now.
Even did some wash on the underside.
Well if I do a white wash in the future at least I'm not totally green on it. Who knows, maybe this will appear again sometime. but to the Shelf of Queens it goes.

Sorry to see you have a bit of bad luck there Bob, Heaven knows how may times I have done a similar thing to some of my builds and then had to relegate then to some other part of the universe. The weathering scheme you used looks real nice and really compliments the build well. I now would have to find me a Il 2 to do some day. Cheer up, there are plenty more planes in the stash.

Hey Bob, that's the best winter cammo I have seen you do so far . :tomato
By the way, all my builds are a learning step . Maybe some day I'll know something
About the separate exhaust, I always glue them in so they can without a bomb blast. If not, sure enough there will be problems
