ICM48251 Plastic model aircraft 1:48 U-2/Po-2 WWII Soviet multi-purpose aircraft

Polikarpov U-2 / Po-2 is a 1/48 scale plastic aircraft model kit by ICM representing the well known Soviet multi-purpose biplane used during World War II. The aircraft served in a wide range of roles including training, liaison, transport, and light night operations.

Originally introduced as the Polikarpov U-2 in the late 1920s, the aircraft was later renamed Po-2 in honor of its designer Nikolai Polikarpov. Its simple structure, reliable handling, and ability to operate from short and improvised airfields made it one of the most widely used utility aircraft in Soviet aviation.

Polikarpov U-2 / Po-2 - Soviet World War II Utility Biplane

This kit represents the classic fabric-covered biplane configuration that became closely associated with Soviet aviation throughout the war. The aircraft’s open cockpit, radial engine, and lightweight construction allowed it to operate in many support roles across different theaters.

For modelers: Biplane assembly benefits from careful alignment of wing struts and upper wing placement. Painting cockpit interiors and small structural components before attaching the upper wing can help keep details clear during final assembly.
