Tamiya 1:48 Iljuszyn Il-2 Szturmovik

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of Russian assault aircraft in 1:48 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows you to build the Iljuszyn Il-2 Sturmovik assault plane model from the Second World War, together with a crew of two (pilot and gunner). Not very complicated construction and low production costs made Sturmovik the most produced Soviet aircraft during the war. Single planes did not have too much combat potential, but operating on a dozen or so machines increased their effectiveness significantly.

In the box, there are 5 frames with parts of the plane, frame with transparent elements of the fairing of the cab with masking and decals.

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
