IL-2M3 Ground attack aircraft, 1/32 - Hobby Boss 83204

The Hobby Boss reference 83204 recreates the IL-2M3, a Soviet ground-attack aircraft from the Second World War, in the form of an injection-plastic model kit to be assembled at 1/32 scale. This large scale particularly highlights the robust silhouette and the characteristic armament of the Sturmovik.

The Ilyushin IL-2, often referred to as the Sturmovik, was used by Soviet aviation for ground-support missions during the conflict. The IL-2M3 version corresponds to a two-seat variant, with a rear position intended for the gunner.

The Hobby Boss kit combines injection-molded plastic parts, clear parts, metal components, and photo-etched parts. It includes more than 400 parts and features, in particular, a detailed cockpit, an engine with its compartment, positionable flaps, as well as weapon and ordnance elements. Two aircraft markings are provided in the form of decals.

Once assembled, the model measures approximately 352.8 mm in length with a 456.24 mm wingspan. At 1/32 scale, each dimension of the real aircraft is reduced by a factor of 32: a size well-suited for careful assembly, detailed painting, and display as part of a collection.

Assembly requires the usual supplies for static scale modeling, including plastic glue, preparation tools, and suitable paints. Applying a primer, carefully treating the panel lines, and progressively applying the decals will help you achieve a great finish for this Soviet ground-attack aircraft.
