Tamiya 60781 1/72 IL-2 Shturmovik Historical Model Kit  [60781]

Representing the Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik in Miniature

The Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik became a cornerstone of wartime ground-attack forces and saw very high production numbers, topping 36,000 airframes. Launched as a single-seat design in March 1941, it evolved into a two-seat configuration to improve combat operations, and wing refinements in late 1943 enhanced its handling.
