The Tamiya 1/48 Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik (61113) reproduces the most important Soviet ground attack aircraft of the Second World War — the Il-2 that was produced in greater numbers than any other aircraft in history. Heavily armoured against ground fire, armed with cannons, bombs, and rockets, the Il-2 was a flying tank that wreaked havoc on German armoured formations on the Eastern Front. Stalin famously declared it as essential to the Red Army as bread and air.

Tamiya's 1/48 kit faithfully captures the Il-2's distinctive armoured nose section, cranked wing, and characteristic wartime Soviet markings options.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate Il-2 with armoured forward fuselage
• Cannon, bomb, and rocket weapon options
• Single-seat and two-seat (with rear gunner) options
• Soviet VVS marking options across multiple theatres
• The most-produced warplane in history in 1/48 scale
