Model Description
Herpa 1/500th scale 538800 Interflug Ilyushin IL-18. Available to pre-order at Flying Tigers.
The Interflug IL-18 is a classic of civil aviation – both in the original and as a collector’s model. Twenty years ago, it was already part of the Herpa Collection in 1:500. So it’s high time to tackle a new edition with a new identifier. DM-STE was first commissioned by the Air Force of the German Democratic Republic in 1962 before being handed over to Interflug in 1964. It was not decommissioned until 1989 and can now be seen in the Hans Grade Museum in Borkheide, Brandenburg. The IL-18 houses an exhibition on the life of the aviator and designer Hans Grade, who in 1908 succeeded in making the first powered flight in Germany with a self-built triplane.
