Note, the Italeri Il-2 Shturmovik,  is a reboxed of the Accurate Miniatures kit, (and has been reboxed by Eduard, Academy and Revell)  

Not as good as the Tamiya, but pretty good nonetheless.

It can be tricky to assemble, 

see here 

 some of the scheme in the Italeri kit maybe cobblers too,  the kit is this variant but metal winged,

This one I belong too, 

There is also the South Downs Model Group
http://southdownsmodelgroup.org.uk/

which shares some members, I've not been as I don't drive, and live in
Lewes, so depend on lifts,

There is also a East Sussex IPMS,
http://hailsham-district-scale-model-club.org/

they have build nights, I've not been along, but a friend goes.
Depends where you are live?

Hope of interest.

Good to see you back Nils

Hi Vadim

this is where I left a posting about IPMS Mid Sussex,  looks like it's dropped off the page,   which  is why you couldn't find it (and I can't) though you may be able to  see further back.

Glad you made it along,  here's what I was talking about
