Detailed 1/32 Scale Reproduction of the IL-2

The Hobby Boss HB-83201 presents the Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik in 1/32 scale, focusing on the single-seat early production form that served on the Eastern Front. Often called the "Black Death", this aircraft was built for close air support and typically carried 20 mm ShVAK or 23 mm VYa cannon, powered by the AM-38 engine.

Builders will appreciate the carefully moulded components that allow a faithful representation of the airframe and cockpit. The kit lends itself to both straightforward builds and more detailed weathering and display work for historical collections.

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Material: Injection-moulded plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Paint: Not included - use model paints for authentic finish
  • Decals: Included with several marking options

What period and variant does this kit represent?

This kit represents the early single-seat IL-2 production variant, featuring details associated with the AM-38 powered versions used for frontline ground attack.

Any tips for painting the IL-2 finishes?

Use reference photos for Soviet camouflage schemes and apply thin primer coats before colour. Subtle weathering and panel shading help bring out the injection-moulded detail.

Do the decals include different unit markings?

Yes, the decal sheet contains multiple marking options to represent alternate units and serials, allowing some variety in finished models.

Is extra detailing required for museum-quality builds?

For display-standard results, many modellers add aftermarket photo-etch or resin items and refine cockpit details, though the out-of-the-box parts are already well detailed.
