ICM 48254 Plastic model kit 1:48 U-2/Po-2VS with Soviet Pilots & GP (1943-1945)

U-2 / Po-2VS with Soviet Pilots & Ground Personnel (1943-1945) is a 1/48 scale plastic aircraft model kit by ICM representing the Polikarpov Po-2VS biplane together with Soviet aviation personnel from the later period of World War II. The set combines the aircraft with pilot and ground crew figures to recreate activity on wartime Soviet airfields.

The Polikarpov Po-2, originally known as the U-2, was a versatile light aircraft widely used by the Soviet Union for training, liaison, and night harassment missions. The Po-2VS variant served in light bombing and support roles, operating from improvised airfields close to the front.

Po-2VS - World War II Soviet Utility and Night Harassment Aircraft

The Po-2 became one of the most recognizable Soviet aircraft of the war due to its reliability and ability to operate from short or unprepared airstrips. Aircraft of this type were used for liaison flights, reconnaissance, and night bombing missions by several Soviet aviation units between 1943 and 1945.

For modelers: The open cockpit and biplane configuration make it useful to paint cockpit details and crew figures before final assembly. Careful alignment of the wing struts can help maintain the correct geometry of the biplane structure.
