Aeroclassics has to date made only 15 IL-18s using its fine mould for the type and even this doesn't illustrate the lack of representation since among the 15 there were 2 Air Koryos and 3 Interflugs really on differentiated by their registrations. With the reappearance of the mould under the Yu ModeL label there remains some small hope that some new IL-18s may appear.
Certainly there is plenty of scope for new IL-18s. The type saw wide service among the Warsaw Pact nations and other Soviet allies in Cuba and a surprisingly wide number of African nations. Here are 28 further options for the type.
EASTERN EUROPE
CUBA
AFRICA
VIETNAM
YEMEN
SUMMARY

Air Guinee, Air Mali and Aero Caribbean would be stellar. That said, this post made me realize that both Ghana Airways and Cubana operated IL-18s and Bristol Britannias! Wouldn't that be exciting to model? A Britannias and IL-18 in the same livery? Wow! We're they operated at the same time? We're there any other airlines that flew both?
