This is the first of a few videos Im putting out for the Tamiya 1/48 IL-2 Sturmovik model. The full build video will be published in a couple weeks. This is a detailed "how to" video focusing on the cockpit and use of photo etch parts.

Cockpit Color - I deviated from the instructions which called for XF-22 (RLM Grey). It seemed too green and didn't have the blueish tint I wanted. I mixed my own color:
XF-21 : 1
XF-24 : 1
XF-23 : 2
