About this product
The classic from the Soviet era as a new shape on a scale of 1: 200. The Ilyushin IL-18 was delivered to Aeroflot from 1959, which operates around 600 machines of this type together with the Soviet Air Force. Another 100 aircraft were exported, including 13 to the Bulgarian state airline. From the 1960s onwards, package tourism on Bulgaria's Black Sea beaches could be significantly developed and expanded with the help of the IL-18. The last specimens remained in use in the Balkans until the turn of the millennium.
