Description

This kit is molded in light gray styrene and presented on seven parts trees, plus one tree of clear parts. Construction is straightforward as this is not a complex kit. Among the features and options in this kit:

Nice cockpit out of the box though the AMS modeler will want to get the Eduard photo-etch set for this kit
Fixed landing gear with snow skis (the wheels are also in the box)
8 x rocket rails w/rockets
2 x inboard external bomb racks with bombs
The cockpit uses decals for seat belts, shoulder harness and instrument faces which works great for many modelers. When Eduard released a special edition of the Shturmovik several years ago, they replaced the decal-based details with photo-etch (which of course raised the price of the kit as well).

This release has markings for two examples:

Il-2, unknown unit, normal camo w/skis
Il-2, Black 6, unknown unit, winter camo w/skis
