[MOC] Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik Soviet light bomber

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

It's a Soviet light bomber used in WW2. You will see the building technique similar to that applied in my last model, Bf109E. Enjoy!

 

Features:

 

- 2 x 23mm cannons on wings

- 2 x 7.62mm MG on wings

- 1 x 12.7mm Berezin defensive MG (can be aimed freely)

- 6 x 100kg bombs (4 carried inside the wings, 2 mounted below)

- 8 x 82mm anti-tank rockets (laser shooter bricks)

- Cockpit accepts 2 minifigs

- Throttle lever tilts back and forth

- Landing gear retracts completely into the wings (VERY sturdy as well!)

- Navigation lamps. (red, green, white) It's an homage to the tradition of Lego's airport sets that always had navigation lamps on the commercial airliners.

- Engine may be separated for repair

- Intake and exhaust slits for the radiator and oil cooler

- National insignia is made out of bricks; no stickers used. Designed to be visible from all sides. 

- All white winter camouflage

- Retractable skis for landing/takeoff on deep snow (optional)

 

I have posted a video on YouTube so that you can see the moving parts:

That's a fantastic model - great shaping and details! (I didn't know Soviet pilots were ever allowed to smile, though!) :laugh:

Nice plane, very detailed! Not everyone remembers that the Soviet Union also had a military aviation during WW2, and that it churned out iconic aircraft like this one, it is a pleasant surprise to see such a model, as almost all follow the maninstream of American, German, British and Japanese aircraft, forgetting the Soviet Union and Italy.
