David's IL-2 Sturmovik is designed to an exact 1/5 Scale and, as always, is suitable for R/C competition, a museum static display or everyday enjoyment at your R/C flying field! This aircraft, like other Andersen Designs, can have a two-piece fuselage for easy transport.
Screaming out of the sky toward formations of heavy Nazi tanks, the IL-2 Sturmovik unleashes a stream of destruction from its four machine guns and two heavy rocket cannons that spit forth explosive incendiary shells. Tanks, trucks, and supply trains are blasted apart, and then eight 125-pound bombs and a large number of incendiaries turn the wreckage into a shambles. One of the best planes developed by any nation in WWII, the Nazi called them "Black Death".
