Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik - Part 2

This issue continues in the Il-2 description, but it has quite diverse purpose and it is processed in different way. The main goal of the Part 1 is the description of technical differences among single-seat versions and their development, while Part 2 is focused on the camouflage colours and patterns (technical development of two-seat Il-2s was not so varied, and the version identification is simpler). The general camouflage patterns, not an individual camouflage and marking (as in Part 1), become a principal point of this issue.

It contains:20 aircrafts...

Over 30 photographs...

Contain:

- brief technical development,

- detailed description of main serial versions,

- 3-view full colour camouflage patterns,

Following information about each aircraft are included:

- at least one photograph with proper comments,

- description of technical characteristics,

- description of camouflage and marking,

- list of suitable 1/72 and 1/48 scale decals and model kits.

Modeller section includes:

- 1/72 and 1/48 scale decals reviews,

- 1/72 and 1ú48 scale model kits reviews.
