This kit faithfully replicates in detail the Soviet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft Polikarpov R-Z, popularly known as "Natacha." The Polikarpov R-Z was an advanced version of the earlier R-5 model, one of the most important reconnaissance aircraft and light bombers used by the Soviet Union in the 1930s. These planes saw their first combat during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), serving with Republican forces and achieving success in infantry support and reconnaissance missions. In the USSR Air Force, they remained in use into the early years of World War II.
