The Ilyushin "ILL" (NOT L.L.)-2m3 two seat is the famous"Sturmovik" (Storm Bird). The primary ground attack bomber of the V.V.S (Red Air Force. It is a very nice kit of the most produced aircraft of WW2 - over 40,000 made by 1947. Parts are devoid of some detail because a percentage was wood clad, like the Mosquito. Losses were heavy, unlike the Mosquito.
You quote a price of £50 I paid £37 (pre order from Jadlam) still to build it but looking forward to doing so. I am sure most people will "shop around" for the best price
Not biased as I like Tamiya kits, but even in 1/48 for what is capable with IJM today those figurines look distinctly under par for a 2012 tool which I find unpalatable at the IL-2 kit's regular price point. I probably wouldn't pay a premium for the combo. Important to me, Zvezda did better with the figurines included in their 2015 tool 1/48 Pe-2, and Modelkasten's aftermarket Japanese figurines sculptures in their Rabaul Fighter and IJAAF/IJNAF sets illustrate what is possible in IJM in the scale. Disappointing. I haven't seen the Zvezda IL-2 kit to eval its figurines as the sanctions nonsense put paid to its availability in AU.
