Tamiya 61113 - 1/48 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik  [61113]

• The Ilyushin Il-2 had been one of the most significant ground-attack aircraft of WWII. It incorporated a sturdy monocoque construction and excellent armor security to make it ideal for ground attack operations. It had been initially conceived as a two-seat design but because of weight issues it had been re-designed as a lighter single-seat aircraft in 1940. As manufacturing began in 1941, the aircraft had been designated whilst the Il-2. Hefty losses of this single-seat aircraft during combat forced the addition of a back gunner place in 1943. Later On variations highlighted improvements such as swept outer wings for better control. The Il-2 contributed greatly on eventual Russian success over Nazi Germany. Joseph Stalin himself famously noted your aircraft was as imperative to the Russian Army as atmosphere and bread.
