atckyrre Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) These were taken by my friend and colleague Trond Bjørkli back in 96-97, before I started working at Evenes airfield And some a bit more recent, taken by me with a digital camera (though an early camera with a whopping 2mp chip! ) Ah, no, this was with my old Chinon SLR.

David Walker Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I've always thought that was a fantastic looking airplane, and as mentioned above, it looks great in the red trim. Thanks for the photos. Link to post Share on other sites

atckyrre Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks guys. Just for information the Liveries Unlimited sheet for the Trumpeter IL-76 includes markings for a red aircraft, albeit with CCCP-regs K Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Whoa, I may need to track that sheet down. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
PBoilermaker Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Whoa, I may need to track that sheet down. Thanks! Russell Brown at AHS has these in stock for $10. It is an outstanding sheet for the Trumpeter kit and yes, you get both regular blue and polar red Aeroflot Soviet-era markings. You also get very well executed window decals that help improve the look of the front end. Great pics of the Il-76, btw. Thank you for posting them. -Mike Link to post Share on other sites

yardbird78 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Nice photos of the Russian airlifters. I see they have removed the twin 23mm tail guns. Darwin Link to post Share on other sites
atckyrre Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks guys, I've built an IL76 with the Liveries Unlimited decals and can't praise them high enough. They fit perfectly and helped get the model just right. In addition I used the Braz-Models tailcone. Here's an in progress shot just to show how those windows work. Link to post Share on other sites

OKB Krasnaya Zvezda Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Man those Il-76 just look perfect in snow condictions, BTW, In the pic of your nice builded Candid I saw the right wing of an An-74P but with the flaps down! and I want to build mine just like that, sorry if I ask you this but do you have more pics of that 74? and anyone else knows how to drop the flaps? I really apreciate that. Thanks for sharing your pics. :D Link to post Share on other sites
