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

• The Ilyushin Il-2 wound up being certainly one of numerous ground-attack aircraft of WWII. It included a sturdy monocoque construction and excellent armor security rendering it perfect for ground attack operations. It had been initially conceived as a two-seat design but due to unhealthy fat it had been re-designed as a lighter single-seat aircraft in 1940. As production started in 1941, the aircraft were designated as the Il-2. Hefty losings from the single-seat aircraft during combat forced the addition of a back gunner invest 1943. Later on variants highlighted improvements including swept external wings for better control. The Il-2 contributed dramatically on ultimate Russian success over Nazi Germany. Joseph Stalin himself famously noted your aircraft finished up being as crucial that you the Russian Army as environment and bread.
