Description

THIS KIT IS A REISSUE OF A PREVIOUS ECARDMODELS.COM LISTING

The Lockheed U-2 is a jet-powered sailplane, designed for high-altitude strategic reconnaissance. An enlarged, upgraded, re-designed version of the airframe was introduced as the U-2R with greater fuel capacity, a longer nose with a modular payload pallet, and wing pods capable of carrying other instrument payloads. Specially modified U-2’s are also flown by NASA for high-altitude research; the U-2 family routinely operates at altitudes of 70,000 feet. A few are still in service, but their missions are being taken over by drones.

This paper model depicts a USAF “Dragonlady” and includes a scale model tow tractor for on-ground display!
