IL 2 Ilyushin Low-poly 3D Model

Description

the ilyushin il-2 (cyrillic: илью́шин ил-2) shturmovik (cyrillic: штурмови́к, shturmovík) was a ground-attack aircraft produced by the soviet union in large numbers during the second world war. the il-2 was never given an official name and 'shturmovik' is the generic russian word meaning ground attack aircraft. the word also appears in western sources as stormovik and sturmovik, neither of which give correct pronunciation in english.

during the war, 36,183 units of the il-2 were produced, and in combination with its successor, the ilyushin il-10, a total of 42,330 were built, making it the single most produced military aircraft design in aviation history, as well as one of the most produced piloted aircraft in history along with the american postwar civilian cessna 172 and the soviet union's own then-contemporary polikarpov po-2 kukuruznik multipurpose biplane.

to il-2 pilots, the aircraft was simply the diminutive ilyusha. to the soldiers on the ground, it was the hunchback, the flying tank or the flying infantryman. its postwar nato reporting name was bark. the il-2 aircraft played a crucial role on the eastern front. when factories fell behind on deliveries, joseph stalin told the factory managers that the il-2s were as essential to the red army as air and bread.

all parts of the model are created separately and allow you to rig all active elements: Landing gear, propeller, flaps, ****pit, etc.
The pack contains the original blend model, an archive with textures (resolution 4096*4096), high poly and low poly fbx models and a Substance Painter project file.
