The IL-14 is a Soviet twin-engine transport aircraft designed in the late 1940s by the team of Sergey Ilyushin. The aircraft entered service in 1954, with production continuing until the early 1960s. The IL-14 saw widespread use both in Soviet aviation and among Eastern Bloc countries, including Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, as well as in African and Asian countries. It was used for passenger transport, military logistics, and special missions during the Cold War. The aircraft’s unique design contributed to its longevity and versatility, making it one of the most recognizable Soviet transport planes of the era.

This detail set is made from the highest quality resin, guaranteeing sharp tread details and a realistic depiction of the tire's deflection under the weight of the machine.
