Interesting for sure and well done. I may have to pick up one of these kits in the future.

Thanks! The build betrays my inexperience, but I couldn't resist tackling the subject. Such a cool livery.

A few pictures of an Eastern Express 1:444 IL-38N of the Indian Navy. The short-run nature of the kit proved a bit much for my fledgling modeling skills, having just returned to the hobby in December 2018, but the topic was too tempting to pass up.

Turned out to be a tail-sitter despite my best efforts, but the real things use tail supports, so I lucked out there. Airbrushed with Vallejo Model Air and an Alclad II Aqua Gloss finish.
