Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik – Soviet battlefield legend

The IL-2 Shturmovik is a true icon of Soviet ground attack aviation from the World War II period (1939–1945). Introduced into service in 1941, it was used extensively during combat on the Eastern Front. Considered one of the most durable and effective support aircraft, it was especially famous for repelling German offensives during the Battles of Kursk, Stalingrad, and Operation Bagration. The Tamiya model faithfully reproduces the streamlined silhouette of the aircraft, featuring the metal front and wooden rear fuselage, as well as detailed cockpit equipment and weaponry, including ammunition segments and optional underwing armament components.

GAZ-67B – reliable companion on land

The GAZ-67B is a Soviet light off-road vehicle used by the Red Army from 1943 to 1953. Resistant to front-line conditions, versatile, and easy to repair, it served as both a command vehicle and a light transport unit. The Tamiya model impresses with details even on the underside of the chassis, reproducing characteristic structural elements as well as the cabin interior with protective tubing.

Who do we recommend this model for?

The Tamiya 25212 Ilyushin IL-2 & GAZ-67B set is recommended for modelers with at least intermediate experience, military enthusiasts, and fans of historical dioramas.
