IL-2 Sturmovik in 1:48 from Revell

The IL2 is probably the most famous aircraft of the Red Army in World War II - and with over 36,000 units it is also the most frequently built. The main task of this aircraft was to combat armored vehicles. The Soviets themselves called it "Flying Tank" or affectionately "Ilyusha". German fighter pilots also called the Il-2 a “concrete plate” because it could withstand direct hits from a 20 mm cannon and was almost impossible to shoot with machine guns (Wiki).

The German forces called the "black death", a very inspired nickname ... very beautiful Il-2 even if the green is too light (but the weathering is really good!).
