Historical Background

The Ilyushin IL-2 was a Soviet ground-attack aircraft that played a pivotal role in World War II, often referred to as the "Flying Tank." Introduced in 1941, the IL-2 was renowned for its rugged construction, heavy armor, and formidable firepower. The flap systems of the IL-2 were critical for its low-speed maneuverability, enabling precise ground attacks and improved control during landings and takeoffs.

This detailing kit captures the intricate design and functionality of the IL-2's flaps, allowing modelers to authentically recreate one of history's most iconic aircraft with unmatched precision and historical accuracy.
