The real subject

The U-2 Dragon Lady is a single-seat high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft able to operate at very high levels. The U-2S version has a modernized engine and avionics. Senior Span is a satellite data link (SATCOM) for passing reconnaissance data on beyond the line of sight of a ground station in near real time; it is recognizable by the prominent spine antenna fairing on the upper side of the fuselage. Thanks to it the aircraft can relay data by satellite from a great distance.

Building and painting tips

Glue the long slender wings carefully and let them cure thoroughly so that they keep the correct dihedral. Paint the cockpit in detail and mask the glazing. Bring the typical overall black finish to life with gentle variation in the shades so that the surface does not look flat; a matte coat underlines the character of a reconnaissance machine. Glue with thin cement for plastic and lay the colors down with an airbrush.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Cold War and modern reconnaissance aircraft
  • Anyone interested in the legendary high-altitude U-2
  • Modelers with experience of building large 1:48 kits
  • Lovers of unusual airframes with long wings

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
