Building set COBI IL-2M3 Shturmovik 625 pieces

The COBI IL-2M3 Shturmovik is a 1:32 scale building set of the famous World War II ground-attack aircraft. The model reproduces the two-seat IL-2M3 variant with characteristic arrow-shaped duralumin wings, rotating propeller, movable ailerons and retractable wheels with rubber tires. The set includes pilot and gunner figures, a display stand with a name plate and a historical map showing Poland’s borders before the 1951 territorial exchange.

Advantages

This 625-piece COBI set uses newly designed elements and durable prints to reproduce wartime colors and markings, including the distinctive blue underside with chessboard insignia. The cockpit canopy opens to seat figures, and several movable parts increase playability and display options. The set is based on an original plane exhibited at the Polish Army Museum and includes historically referenced figures and accessories.
