This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The first Soviet intercontinental jet passenger aircraft was the II-62, developed by the S.V. Ilyushin Design Bureau. The prototype took off January 2, 1963. Series production began in 1966.

Since 1973, the advanced aircraft II-62 with new engines and a maximum range of over 11,000km was adopted in operation. Just before 2004, 190 II-62Ms were produced. The II-62 served as the flagship of Aeroflot for several decades. They are actively supplied to many countries of the socialist camp. A small number of II-62M are in operation today.
