Armory Models AW32016 Iljushin IL-2 Bark late type wheels w/ weighted tyres 1/32

The upgrade set Armory Models AW32016 Iljushin IL-2 Bark late type wheels w/ weighted tyres 1/32 is a high-quality modeling accessory dedicated to the legendary Soviet ground attack aircraft Iljushin IL-2 models in the popular 1/32 scale. The product is made from premium resin, ensuring extremely precise details and a realistic surface texture superior to standard plastic parts. A distinctive feature of this set is the “weighted tyres” – with a subtle flattening that recreates the effect of the aircraft’s weight resting on the landing gear, giving an authentic look to models displayed on a diorama or shelf.

The Iljushin IL-2, known as the “Shturmovik” or by the Allied reporting name “Bark,” was one of the most important and widely produced combat aircraft of the Soviet Union during World War II. Extensively used on all Eastern Fronts, it became particularly renowned for its role in the Battles of Kursk, Stalingrad, and the Berlin Offensive, turning into a symbol of Soviet air power and close air support for ground forces. The base model and the featured set represent the “late type” variant, used in the final phase of the conflict (years 1943–1945).
