Il-2 1946 vs Godzilla

December 4, 2023

( Previously posted over at Great Battles but probably more apt here..)

( Just kidding…) but the newest Godzilla movie, ”Godzilla Minus One,” which is actually quite good features a late war “J7W1 Shiden” in the final dramatic sequences. This plane has been available for flying for quite a while in the various “modded” version of the older iteration of Il-2 Sturmovik 1946. Some fun!

Interestingly enough the model of the plane with Godzilla box art in already available!One can only hope the modelers are hard at work on Godzilla and a digital Tokyo?

( By the way for those young at heart who still have a place in their heart for Godzilla this is may be the best version yet! Worth seeing it in theater. Spoiler it is all in Japanese with subtitles…)

Given how terribe the edits were to the 1954 version, I don't mind subtitles.

had they included a model of Godzilla in the given 1:48 scale of this kit ("1/48 Kyushu J7W1 Local Fighter Shinden Godzilla-1.0 Movie Edition"), then they would surely have "needed a bigger box". Godzilla being 1.043 meters tall then...
