I found the 14-step, two-sheet instructions hard to read having to switch back and forth between the two sheets, I wasn’t sure why HobbyBoss chose to print them that way. I started on the nicely detailed cockpit. There are decals included for two different aircraft, one set for a whitewash over the usual dark green/light blue scheme. The kit offers few building options: The canopy can be open or closed, and the small bomb bays in the wing center section can be open or closed. The clear parts are really nice – quite clear and thin, though HobbyBoss did miss the rather prominent sighting lines that form a diamond shape on the windscreen. All the control surfaces are molded separately and can be posed if you cut off the mounting tabs. The kit’s surface detail includes finely engraved panel lines and rivets.Įngine cowls are molded in clear plastic to show off the highly detailed Mikulin AM-38 engine. A separate box inside contains the clear parts, some photoetched metal, and vinyl ammunition belts for guns. The kit’s 11 sprues are individually bagged with the exception of the weapon trees, which are both in the same bag. HobbyBoss’ newly tooled Il-2 is molded in medium gray, slightly soft plastic.
