IL-2 Shtrumoviks for Flames of War

My Flame of War Soviets now have some air support.  These are IL-2 Shturmovik flying tanks.  These have a formidable reputation in the history of the war but the FoW take is less than impressive.  I will need to try these a few more times to be sure but my first try was useless.  The models are Battlefront and are really nice.  Very easy to assemble and I just did a basic gamer paint job.
