1/48 Accurate Miniatures IL-2

This is my first Accurate Miniatures model kit, and I am amazed by it.  It was a fantastic model, I only have problems with the lower wings but with a little bit of plasticard I solved the problem.

All my models are preshaded with flat black from Tamiya.  First of all, I painted the lower part of the wings, (FS 35414) with XF-23 light blue and XF 25 light sea grey.
On the upper wings, first I painted the brown (FS 30219) XF-52 Flat earth and XF59 desert yellow.

Then  the light green (FS 34102) XF26 Deep Green, and XF27, finally the dark grey (FS 36081) with XF 63 German grey and XF65 field grey, all the colours are weathered.

Then I sprayed with white in all the panels and the I did a washg with oil paints.
I enjoyed building this model quite a lot. 
I hope you enjoy as I did.
