Ilyushin Il-18F, was registered as CU-C1515 with Aerocaribbean Cargo, the Cuban carrier, though the manufacturer serial number for this specific airframe is not confirmed in available public records. CU-C1515 supported Aerocaribbean's domestic and regional Caribbean cargo operations, reflecting Cuba's historically close aviation ties with the Soviet Union amid decades of U.S. trade restrictions limiting the island's access to Western-built aircraft. Aerocaribbean operated as a Cuban state carrier specializing in domestic and short regional international routes complementing flag carrier Cubana's longer-haul network, and its continued reliance on aging Soviet-era airframes like the Il-18 well into the 21st century reflected the ongoing constraints the decades-long U.S. embargo placed on Cuba's ability to modernize its civil aviation fleet.

Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
