There is an Il-2 in storage at Garber, at NASM. I understand that it is fully restored, just needs paint. Was recovered from a lake; I think there was some controversy concerning the trade for this aircraft but never learned the details.

two Il-10 on storage in France at Melun (south of Paris) at the Musée de l'aviation de Melun
They are on a good condition
One of the two airframes would be restored to flying condition in the futur

Here is one that needs more than just a quick rub down with an oily rag.
On the dockside at Rotterdam a good few years back as part of a batch of more interesting aircraft exiting Russia, it was rebuilt to static display standard, despite my recommendation to just dump it in the dock.
