Ilyushin IL-62M

[dodgy-alan 1,587]

The IL-62 is the Soviet equivalent of the British Vickers VC-10 . However it is slightly larger than the VC-10 and unlike the VC-10 is still in service in small numbers. This is an old VEB kit with decals by Revaro. It is 1/100 scale which translates into a big model for airliner kits! The kit in the box is a somewhat crude affair (compared to many more modern kits) based on the design of the prototype. The shaping is all correct and it just needed certain details adding to bring it up the the standard I required. Cubana of course is the national airline of Cuba. Thanks for viewing.
