Mine made it cheaply to Montreal in a record time (thanks Deutsche Post & Postes Canada!) and I confirm this is an amazing model. I am not an Il-18 expert so I cannot really comment on the model accuracy, but it looks great. Yes, on the model there is a seam under the front fuselage, but in real life it is barely noticeable, much more proeminent in the pictures.
