Tamiya item 61113 - Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik - 1/48 scale Propeller Aircrafts Military Series assembly kit
#61113 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik - Tamiya 1/48

The Ilyushin Il-2 was one of the most significant ground-attack aircraft of WWII. It incorporated a sturdy monocoque construction and excellent armor protection to make it perfect for ground attack operations. It was initially conceived as a two-seat design but due to weight issues it was re-designed as a lighter single-seat aircraft in 1940. As production began in 1941, the aircraft was designated as the Il-2. Heavy losses of the single-seat aircraft during combat forced the addition of a rear gunner position in 1943. Later variants featured improvements such as swept outer wings for better handling. The Il-2 contributed greatly to the eventual Russian victory over Nazi Germany. Joseph Stalin himself famously noted that the aircraft was as vital to the Russian Army as air and bread.

Tamiya 1/48 Ilyushin IL 2

Posted by Adrian Yates on 7th Oct 2020

Excellent kit from Tamiya, would have to be the best 1/48 Aircraft kit I've built to date.
Falls together with little worry for seem lines and no filler too.
Only remark was the instructions have you fit the undercarriage doors then have them omitted in following steps.
Ejector pins are out of the way and decals conform excellently.
Once again a great and enjoyable build so far.
Thanks to Hobbystation for a great price and service.
