Purpose and vehicle history

The U-2/Po-2 model is a Soviet light biplane used for training and liaison purposes, widely employed both in the interwar period and during World War II. The aircraft was used by the Red Army, and its fame grew thanks to the night raids by the so-called "Night Witches"—female pilots conducting numerous bombing missions behind enemy lines at night. This machine remained in operation from the late 1920s up into the postwar years. The Eduard CX574 mask set is intended for the plastic U-2/Po-2VS model released by ICM, which excellently replicates the detail and shape of the original.
