1/72 U-2/Po-2VS, WWII Soviet Light Night Bomber
ICM 1/72 U-2/Po-2VS is a plastic kit of the armed version of the Polikarpov biplane, used as a light night bomber. It contains 106 parts and four marking options. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Originally a training biplane, the U-2 was armed during World War II and, designated U-2VS, served as a light night bomber. These aircraft were flown, among others, by female crews. After the death of designer N. N. Polikarpov in 1944, the aircraft was designated Po-2.
The ICM kit in 1/72 scale has 106 parts; the model measures about 144 × 158 mm. Decals cover an aircraft of the 213th Night Bomber Air Division (summer 1943), a U-2VS from winter 1942, a Po-2VS of the 46th Taman Guards Night Bomber Regiment (spring 1945) and a Polish Po-2VS of the 2nd Night Bomber Regiment "Kraków" near Lublin (summer 1944).
As the armed version, it makes an interesting pair with the U-2/Po-2 kit, showing two faces of the same biplane. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
