Look a a pile of bits and then it all starts to gel together to get some inspiration to move forward to:-

b. Get a model happening
Won a 1/72 A Model Ilyushin Il-18 Airliner in a raffle once many years back, way out of my interest zone, so it sat, lost, ignored and abandoned.
Then I stumbled across an image of the Il-20 Coot Elint aircraft, which used the Il-18 as a base.. so away we went. I now have a Coot in my aircraft collection.
