The Iljusin IL-2 is a legendary Soviet assault aircraft produced between 1941 and 1945, known as the "flying tank" due to its armor and remarkable resistance to damage. The "Interim Gunners Station" version featured a temporarily reworked tail gunner's position introduced due to the urgent need to improve rear defensive capabilities. These aircraft played a key role on the Eastern Front, including in the Battle of Kursk and Operation Bagration.

Thanks to excellent reproduction of fuselage, tail, cockpit, and the unique tail gunner's station, the KPM0136 kit allows for an authentic recreation of the aircraft's characteristic silhouette and historical liveries from the World War II frontlines. The model parts are crafted with attention to detail, enabling precise assembly even by less experienced modelers.
