Official Ilya Muromet Painting Thread

[rhodie80]

These are Shapeway 1/144 Ilya Muromets type V made by Kampfflieger models. They are fantastic models that are very easy to work with. I hit them with a few coats of spray primer and painted away. The decals are from 1/144 Direct and are gorgeous. The gunners are Shapeway 1/144 Standing Observers (Entente) made by Reduced Aircraft Factory. Thanks to Keith Upton, Oberst Hajj, for the fantastic bases. The Aerodrome makes it so easy is to do custom base design. As special thanks to Zoe Brain for a paint recommendation. Zoe suggested using Chroma's Josonja Artists' Colours Moss Green. You were bang on as I think the color is perfect. I need to thanks Dave. Flash, for the great Russian Air Force Book he sent and was a great reference.
