Product Description

Build one of the most remarkable aircraft of the First World War with the OREL 046 Ilya Muromets Kievsky Heavy Bomber Paper Model Kit in impressive 1:33 scale.

Designed by pioneering aircraft engineer Igor Sikorsky, the Ilya Muromets was a revolutionary Russian four-engine aircraft that evolved from a large passenger aeroplane into one of the world's first purpose-used heavy bombers. During World War I, military versions of the Ilya Muromets became famous for their exceptional size, multiple engines and long-range capabilities at a time when most military aircraft were considerably smaller and simpler.

This model represents the Ilya Muromets Kievsky, an aircraft associated with an important long-distance flight in June 1914. Flying from St. Petersburg to Kyiv via Orsha, the aircraft demonstrated the impressive capabilities of Sikorsky's design shortly before the outbreak of World War I.

Produced by OREL, this highly detailed card model is supplied on 15 large A3 sheets and builds into an impressive 1:33 scale replica. Its distinctive four-engine configuration, large wingspan and early aviation appearance make it an excellent centrepiece for collections focused on WWI aircraft, historic bombers and military aviation.
