Italeri 1/48 Aircraft - Lockheed U-2 R/S Tu-2 S - 2812

The Italeri 1/48 Lockheed U-2R/S (2812) is a 1/48 scale model kit of the Lockheed U-2 — the high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft that has served the USAF since 1957. The U-2 famously brought the world to the brink of nuclear war when Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. The R/S variants are the most capable and longest-serving versions, with the U-2S still in service today providing strategic reconnaissance that no satellite can replicate. An important and distinctive aircraft in 1/48 scale.
