PaladinLJJ Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 It been 15 years since WenChuan great earthquake. Every Chinese people remember this great disaster, and also, remember lots of touching stories happened in those days. One was the next day after earthquake, PLAAF paratroopers were assmeble and flew by IL-76 to WenChuan. 15 paratroopers took risk jump out from IL-76 without any ground information or guidance. These fearless soldiers lucky land alive landed, some of them were wounded. They find out disaster area situation and remade communication with headquarters, guide more rescue to come. They gave the people hope, and help to save their lives, they were called "The 15 warriors of WenChuan" in China. The fact is, the PLA offices and soldiers always save the people, not just in earthquake, but also in flood disaster, in snow disaster and other disaster.(They are not like some oher military force, just sit above vehicle and just look at civilians in floods.) The IL-76 transporter were also be remembered , they can carry so many people and goods to any place with high reliability. They also took as heros too! To memorize ours heros, I built this little scene: a group of Chinese paratroopers are landing a IL-76, they answer the call ready to fly to somewhere need them.

PaladinLJJ Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Down below are some pictures in process. I uesd trumpeter IL-76 kit. As you know, it is an old kit and without any interior detail. So I built a simple drive cabin. And also the cargo cabin, with ZVEVDA instruction and real plane pictures as reference. After painted, the result is OK to me. I add some drawboard detail too. But can't see anything in drive cabin, it's all dark! China bought IL-76MD, but the tail is civil type without guns. Tumpeter kit didn't offer this kind of tail, so I rebuilt by myself. I also correct engine wheel position. I choose 3D print soldiers, they are with amazing details ! And also, built a block of airfied. That's all, thanks for watching, good modeling.
