This is a very simple 1/48-model kit of the well known Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik. It is not very detailed, but the general appearance is rather representative.
All major parts of the model are designed for printing in vase mode in order to save time and material, and to improve the surface quality.
Only for the propeller and the rear machine gun the standard printing mode has to be used.
Instead of the propeller there is also a clean spinner included.

How I Designed This
The shape is adapted in a way that the major parts can be printed in vase mode.
