IL-2M accurate minitures build - Awesome!

Does anybody get "Air Modeller" magazine? I do on the odd occasion, and was super impressed by this build in issue 21. What a great idea to show the aircraft without paint (naked?) giving insight into the mixed construction of this a/c. Stunning.

(I was going to head this thread "Naked Model" but thought that might get too much attention and disappoint a lot of people!)

What do you think?

Cheers

The wood on it looks amazing. Didn't know the Il 2M had so much wood!

Okay

What other aircraft would look good "naked"?

Mossie?

Early Hurricane?

I think Brett Green did a Mossie similar to this in his 'Modelling the Mosquito' book

It looks abit more impressive imo because it looks as though the paints been burn't off which is what he was trying to show

Both incredible models -no idea how they get the wood to look so realistic

Cool idea to illustrate that way. Those panel lines though...sheesh...like a piece of ground armor.
