I must say up front, however, that my Il'ya resulted from following your lead; where I was able. For example, the engines' colours, making larger horizontal tailparts and a bunch of stuff that I've forgotten now but which helped me get through that particular "episode". Furthermore, the references I used (aside from the Armada book, which I had), were all from you. My contribution would, therefore, be of a secondary nature.

Remove rear fuselage surface detail. Replace with decal strip to simulate fabric tape. Fill in dorsal gunner's position. Not correct for #150 Add strip of card along H.Stab's LE and on the inboard rudder cutout of the elevator to bring kit pieces to area & shape shown on St.H drawings. Replace tailskid with longer one of correct size. Scratch rudder to correct shape. Reduce the width of the fuselage in the front cabin area, combined with sanding the thick plastic, makes the front cabin longerons appear parallel as in the real aircraft. Remove the wing rib detail, the plane had external rib battens. Replace them with something of either stretched sprue or copper armature wire. Make an effort to set the outer two engines a bit farther back as in the real aircraft. Add lower wing root plates to compensate for the reduced width of the cabin area. this keeps the strut holes aligned. Bamboo struts. That's about it.

Of course, if you didn't take in progress photos you should really build another in order to remedy the oversight ;-) Shane (who has a Maquettes Il'ya and no intention of building it !) ************************************************************** The information contained in this E-Mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

You moved the central engines forward or made them look like they were further forward. 2. I would scratch the entire horizontal stabilizer from 2mm card. For me, that was easier than adding a piece.
