Fly 72035 Ilyushin Il-10 Soviet service 1/72 – plastic scale model kit

Fly 72035 Ilyushin Il-10 Soviet service is an exceptionally detailed 1/72 scale plastic model kit designed for fans of historical military aircraft models from the post-World War II period. This kit replicates the iconic Soviet ground attack aircraft Il-10, which was a development of the famous Il-2 design. The Il-10 was produced and heavily used by the Soviet Union mainly right after the end of World War II and during the early years of the Cold War – from 1944 until the early 1950s. It was used by Soviet aviation to support ground forces and was also exported to allied socialist countries, but this edition of the kit is dedicated to the Il-10’s historical service in the USSR.

History of the Il-10

The Il-10 was designed in response to the need to increase firepower and improve armor compared to its predecessor – the Il-2. The aircraft made its maiden flight in 1944 and entered service with the Soviet Air Force in the final period of World War II. Unlike its predecessor, the Il-10 was characterized by better maneuverability, considerable range, and resistance to combat damage. After the war, it was widely used in the USSR on the Eastern Front and during military exercises, becoming the main ground attack aircraft of the Red Army until the 1950s.
