Armory Models AW72056 Iljushin IL-2 Bark late type wheels w/ weighted tires 1/72 is a high-quality detail set dedicated to models of one of the most famous Soviet ground attack aircraft of World War II – the Ilyushin IL-2 (also known as the "Shturmovik"). The Ilyushin IL-2 was introduced into service with the Red Army in 1941 and quickly became the primary machine for direct support of ground troops. It was widely used by the Soviet Union on all Eastern Fronts until the end of World War II.

This detail set from Armory Models has been specifically designed for 1/72 scale models. It is made from high-quality resin, allowing for detailed surface features and faithful reproduction of the finest elements. The set contains a complete set of late version main wheels with the characteristic "Bark" weighted tires, which were used in later variants of the Ilyushin IL-2 produced between 1943 and 1945.
